Guilty as charged-on all counts of grammer and misspellings, but then again English(I mean the 'mericun version) doesn't seem to follow very many rules bacause it's an assorted mix-and-match of many European languages.
-I will be, I am, I was. Three different tense bases for the same verb.
-ghought or goat? Ghyche or fish?
-sea or see?
-question mark within the parenthesis-even though it identifies the sentance as a question?
-what are the rules for pluralizing "y"s to "ies"?
-"winningest" player of the year?

It seems our laguage is still evolving.
I've heard of a study that said that "black" english is moving further(or is that farther?) away from "conventional" mainstream english than it has ever historically been (or should that be "been historically?"). Also each cultural group within the U.S. uses english differently("spanglish", every 5th word in Philippino Tagalog seems to be english, etc, etc...)
Pip pip cheerio!
