Hi Ditter, I haven't seen you post anything for a few days. Aren't they hilarious?

Do you think anyone reads what they write before sending it out.

These days even the newspapers need more proofreading.......and how about some of the english in conversation......or on the TV?

I wonder if the kids today know that there is the nominative case and an objective case and when to use which and why???

I cringe when I hear "me and her" went shopping !!!!!!!!!

Makes one wonder, doesn't it?????

Do they even teach English in schools anymore? At least it was called English when I went to school, who knows what it might be called now!!! Thanks Ditter for the morning chuckle.
