[QUOTE=mike'sgirl;6803080]That's hilarious! I need to send it to my daughter,whose 18. We call her the grammar Nazi. She hates it when people don't speak correctly.[/QUOTe

SOMEBODY BROUGHT THEIR CHILD UP RIGHT AND TO SPEAK CORRECTLY. I TOTALLY COMMEND YOU. My mother did the same with her three daughters and now we are in our 60-70's and we, once in a while, mess up the King's English. We get on each other about speaking correctly. I did the same with our son and grandchildren.

I could go on a tirade here - I hate the BYOB, BOGO, sorry here, quilting lingo, WIP, DH, DD, DGD ad infinitum. I just think - have we gotten so lazy that we cannot even spell out a word or have we become so stupid that we cannot spell the word. Thank God, in my day we had Spelling Bees, Spell-Downs. Because of that I learned how to spell and speak correctly. If you can't spell correctly, you cannot speak correctly.

Thank you for letting me vent my spleen! I am one of the people in this world that will go into a store if I see a misspelled word in the window or an ad and tell them they spelled the word wrong. It, generally, is corrected.

Hav a gd day!!!!! Only kidding!!!!! Make it a good day! Edie
