Should we all submit any postings we have to you so you can grade | them for us? Then you can pass the A and some of the good B+ articles | through to the net. Sure, why not? Actually, rather than that, why not have all these folks who can't tell the difference between "their" and "they're" go back to "see spot run" since they clearly never got very much farther. Alternately, you could have your keepers at the home for the incurably vulgar go through your articles for spelling, and THEY could assign you grades. Especially they could assign grades for each attempt you make to express your disgust in a creative fashion rather than resorting to cheap theatrics. | It only goes to show that people with nothing of substance to | contribute can still find something to say. I'd much rather have | someone who disagrees with my opinion post a scathing rebuttal, than | have some know-it-all try to correct my grammar. Read for CONTENT you | shit heads. Not to check spelling and punctuation. Actually, the complaints were not about anybody's grammar. They were about the SPELLING of words which sound alike but aren't the same word and so aren't spelled the same. These are called homonyms. Can YOU spell homonym, gentle reader? Go ahead, try. That's right, just copy it from the article. Wasn't that easy? It's just as easy for someone who has trouble telling which homonym to use, to write down the different words and meanings, and how they're spelled, and then when they want to use one, they can look at their list to see! | [It worked....I do feel better!] | Jerry Why, you're RIGHT, it does feel better! And I didn't even have to use your favorite new words for the week! Hutch (The above article is sarcastic.
