Maybe we need a little like the one on our GPS where a voice comes in and starts saying "recalculating, recalculating, recalculating". As to my own grammar, etc., I have good days and bad days. It is quite easy to good back and edit your previous messages.

You probably know that I won the Red Pen of America Contest for many years. But then...when Peter Jennings said "snuck" after we stayed up all night together watching shock and awe, I began to fundamentally question the plausibility of my quest to rid the world of error.
The very word reminds me of what was once an ironical, common mistake....of course you know that the word "err" was once only correctly pronounced "ur" and never "air"?
And remember that horrible year when "collectables" with an "a" was added to the dictionary? It's pathetic; it's an outrage; to what is the world coming? What to do?
Trust me, friends of the Red Pen, when you cannot rely on the Oxford English Dictionary to hold a line, you are alone in the world.

You are a good person Borjo. But there are some with dyslexia and some that are good spellers. Some are athletes and some are not. Some are smarter than others and some are kinder than others and some people have everybody fooled and some people have nobody fooled.

We is what we is.

I remember I had a friend Tom in the Philosophy Department at the University of Nevada, Reno who always seemed to have many girls interested in him. He would take love letters from them, correct their spelling and grammar, and give them back to them. This trick often resulted in his having one less woman interested in him.

There is only one who is perfect and he is way superior to us. So......lighten up and enjoy life. It's our time to do what we want to do and what we enjoy!

I do know that as you are typing along sometimes you don't realize that you are using the incorrect version of the words their, there, too or to. I happens to me. I think my brain is functioning to fast to realize the difference. Once it is posted and I read it again it sinks in and I think now why did I do that when I know perfectly well how to use the word? and I edit the post and fix it. One thing I had to mention is on the show Judge Judy this week a litigant came up with a new word "tooken". She kept saying it over and over and Judge Judy stopped her and said there is no such word as tooken. It was a funny moment.

That's funny. They sure use it all the time on Judge Judy's show and Maury Povich not that I watch those shows.

In light of all the spelling ignorance displayed here, and emotional trauma the misspelling issue is causing, I think this website should be permanently closed. Then all those with twisted knickers could breathe again and there will be peace in the world.
