Zeke, I have mixed feelings replying to this post. I feel that I'm one of those posters who dosen't spell very well.I do try hard to make sense and try to offer my thoughs in a logical order. I would ask those of you that have a better education than me to do your best to muddle through my questions and thoughs. On the other hand I will try harder to spell and type better. As a after thought, Wayne is there any way you might add a spell check? I find this BBS very intresting and would hate to feel that that my posts are not welcome. Thanks for hearing my thoughs, Randy

I make mistakes and I try to catch them. Sometimes I don't. Your response is well written, save for a couple of commas.
What bugs me is the obvious confusion between the 3 "
theres." Or 4, if you cound the contraction, "there's." This is not an oversight or a spelling error. This is ignorance of the language. Another one is the use of your for you're. Some might be doing this on purpose as a form of shorthand. That's being charitable.
Are you guys telling me that the schools/parnets are not differentiating on these grammarical rules?
I hate to sound pedantic, but I'm afraid that's how this is turning out.
