to all the english majors we used to have here ?? The spelling, grammar, and syntax errors have reached epic proportions. For some reason (probably because I read a lot) these things pop out at me and ruin the credibility of posts.

Boy Howdy.

Slow morning. Picking on each other?

Blanket apology to my high school English teacher; Mrs. Belcher. I remembered MOSt of what you taught me for a long time, but lately it's a little fuzzy.

For the most part, I think the thought goes from our brain to our fingertips and the computer keyboard. I rather like that....it appears to be an honest response to a post rather than a "formal composition" of words that may have lost the original intent of the thought. I hope we aren't being tested here or graded for composition.

I was an art major... and I visualize as I write. Sometimes my visions get in the way of my words. That's MY excuse!

Nice to know that there are still folks who cringe at bad grammar.
At least I just cringe now......I used to correct them.
Hmmmm haven't seen those folks for awhile.
Once an English Major, always an English major I guess!

Hey, last week I tried to get people to stop selling frigs and start selling fridges instead, and they closed the thread.

Seriously, I find myself proofreading my posts two and three times. As I get older I sure make more typos, if that is really what they are. For me and lots of other people, I think having a really good secretary clean up your mistakes is a hard thing to live without. Rose, I miss you!

I'm an English major. But I hesitate to correct people's spelling and grammar because feelings get hurt and everybody gets angry. I agree, there are more egregious errors than ever
