I used to be such a "Grammar Nazi" when I was a kid, but I have gotten more flexible as I've gotten older. Unfortunately, my spelling and grammar aren't near perfect any more, either. But it really bugs me when the "more educated" professionals make these silly spelling and grammar mistakes, and their "mistakes" are taken as gospel. OK, I'll get off my soapbox.

Pete and Mike,
I couldn't have said it better myself. I have to grit my teeth when I see so many spelling and grammatical errors in the world today. It just seems like no one cares anymore. You know one of the things that drives me the most crazy?? Using 's to make things plural. Aaarrrrrgggghhhh!

Mike ... it's a sign of the times... a rather depressing one at best
:-( The written word has gone the way of cave paintings and Sanskrit
.... today it's all compressed for txt msg ... faster the better.
Wonder how long before students take classes via IPhone and just text
teachers.
