Grammar & spelling
Oct 4, 2014 06:21:05 #
Hi, I am Bernie. I enjoy reading these topics and comments. I would enjoy them much more if commenters would re-read their comments before they send them. It seems to me that almost every comment contains grammatical errors or misspellings that render the entire comment meaningless. Please try to pay attention to what you are saying. Read it again. Then send it. Thank you.

Thank you. For all the good it will do. Apparently the grammatical standards for anyone educated after 1972 have declined precipitously. I received one comment stating that I was a "rases wite boi, no cribity." I also was regaled with another claim of a "Doctorate in Phisics." Typos are one thing; the egregiousness of some of these errors, committed by people who are extolling their superior intelligence, is somewhere betwixt appalling and amusing.

At least you don't claim to have a Doctorate in "Phisics," and misspell it twice.

Guess what you don't have to read them. This is not English 101 this is a forum by average people. Get off your white horse.

Are you inferring that "average people" can't spell or use correct English when 'conversing' with others? If so, perhaps we should all 'converse' in Ebonics. Then, maybe, we could all utilize the mother language being instilled by the dumbed down educational system.

I am saying it is not a priority. There are serious problems to worry about.

Is it really something to worry about at this level?

There are so many important issues. Hard to know where to start. I think if we can get rid of Harry as majority leader would then be possible to control Obama.

The Democrats will probably lose the Senate next month. If word of Obama's planned amnesty decree gets out, they will certainly lose it. If not, it will be in 2016. Even American v**ers will probably be angry enough by then. Once the Republicans are in control, Harry Reid is history. There are, however, some RINOs that are nearly as bad, just not as blatant about it. RINOs have to be sneaky. It's tough to be a Democrat in D**g.

The speaker of the house needs to be retired he has no spine. I have written at least 10 letters to him and have gotten exactly same response every time.
