Well if you are from Ohio it is you'uns...

Yes,we're better with a football than with grammar. :lol:

Folks in Florida might argue with that. :lol: :lol:

Only thing that really bothers me on reading threads is if someone types in all Caps or they type one long paragraph with no break, it is hard for my mind to stay focused reading either of those two.

O yea and the fact that dun is not Dun :lol:

ps. help for those of us that can not spell well, download the Google bar and it has a spell check option for anything that you type in your browser. Works much like the spell check on Microsoft Word.

Plus you have a Google search window all the time on your toolbar that comes in real handy.

Also has a pop up blocker that keeps those nasty pop ups away.

the google toolbar is a virus or spam to many antivirus programs. can't always be used.

on the main topic, i like to think i know how to spell, but in all honesty i can't spell any better than the next person and i passed english with honors, also. as you can see, i like commas. :lol:

:lol: :lol: Maybe we should combine all these and send them to all the English teachers so they know where to concentrate. Can you imagine having to learn this language as an adult. It really deviates from logic sometimes. They tell me Spanish, French and Italian are much easier. ;-)

I hope they are, because the way things are going we will be discussing proper Spanish in a few years on here

Yes but even with a 'Thesaurus' not everyone knows how to cross reference, and use the words properly when found.

I thought Thesaurusus died out millions of years ago....
