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.

Also, to my high school English teacher Mrs. Adelsberder. I was later told by my college professor that you can always get a good editor but much harder to find a creative writer. After all---it's the message that counts. I liked that professor!!

I am with both of you. I couldn't care less about punctuation, spelling etc. I am only interested in the content and as long as I understand that much I am satisfied.

If you noted my prior post you will know I am not in favor of people taking it upon themselves to correct fellow posters. In fact I would like to see Admin ban those posts.

What about the use of the words: less and fewer. Less is volume, and fewer is quantity. In other words.........1. There were fewer people in attendance last night.
2. He weighed less than he did last month.

Q: What is grammar?
A: The difference in knowing your sh*t, and knowing you're sh*t.

I see nothing wrong with the commas. If you are referring to a comma before the word and...it belongs there.

"Hate" is such a strong word towards someone who uses bad grammer...REALLY! "I hate people who..." This kind of foolishness and judgement of people is a little disturbing. I thought there are a lot of things to do in TV? Once I get there, deleting this account will be the first thing I do. Oh brother!

It has been a long time since I received my degree in English Lit.
I still silently cringe when I hear a sentence that ends with AT or something similar, but I would never ever say
anything about it to the speaker or a friend nearby.
Bad manners to say anything or form an opinion just for something that is not going to change your world.
