Our language is always changing and it is more important to not be afraid to post.
We have a President that just kills grammar. So you can be President and get through Ivy League schools and become President...without knowing grammar!( I don't know how he did it!) I read for the message, not the spelling or grammar. It is the thought that counts. (Unless you are in school or for a job interview etc.)
Best Mom:

I have worked with scientists and other PhD types throughout the years. Most of them couldn't spell or put two sentences together.

I must tell you though, in their fields, they had genius. Bottom line, have a good command of the English language is NOT a prerequisite for intelligence.

P.S. Get off the President's back. He kept us safe since 9/11. Can you do that !!!
