Hmmmm.....noticing that "d" in the phonetic spelling. Question that!!!

You're (not your) welcome.

Luckily, I do not have that problem.

Wait until you have grand kids and great grand kids and they text or message you. It is a different language all together.

SO how many times have you spotted missespelled words on stations scrolling at bottom? Can anyone explain "I" before "E" except after C? Seems that is not part of spellcheche.

How did I dodo?

I have to admit, I am looking forward to having grandkids.

So our 2 & 4 yr old grand daughters just left. We are now in recovery mode. The energy level is off the charts and we need probably a day or so to get back to normal! OMG what fun it is to have them here. You haven't lived until you watch your 4 year old grand daughter shoot her compound bow dressed in a Snow White costume dress! The 2 year old is now shooting the bow as well. My son is loving it that the girls want to shoot the bow! It is a Bear youth bow that has huge range of adjustment. The 4 yr old pulls bow all on her own and lets it rip which is so funny to watch! Wish we could bottle that energy up and keep for a boost when we need it!!!

I saw a bumper sticker long time ago that says it all:
"If I knew grandkids were going to be this much fun, I'd had them first!"

Sorry for hijack but timing was just right.

Off topic, but the one that drives me up a wall...nucular vs. nuclear.

"Lose" vs "loose" drives me nuts. As does "definately".... Here's an easy way to remember: "if you spell definitely with an A, you're definitely an a-hole"

Well, for a classic: young student to teacher, "I brang me brudder; me mudder's sick!" Then there's the Philly/Germantown: "cork the friggerin chimely." (Caulk the f'n chimney) But my current favorite has to be the use of "I" as a possessive as in, " he gave it to Sue and I." It's gotten so bad that "he gave it to Sue and me" sounds wrong! As they say, repeat a lie long enough.....

What it just flat out comes down to is complete lack of pride in personal communications. Texting is just cave wall language that is now the norm.

What can we expect when almost everyone on television news shows will say " we will return ammediately". These people are called professionals and should be accomplished public speakers.

Not intended, but I always appreciate good pun! Good catch

I see it frequently where people misuse use Caliber (or as we say here Calibre) when talking about a cartridge where it refers to a projectile diameter.

Did you guys know that "As per" is actually redundant (i.e., "As per the memo")? It's actually either "As" or "Per".

Irregardless, I don't think it makes much difference. Sometimes I say "As per" to.
