[QUOTE="Knight Templar, post: 1598987, member: 75443"] Very good point re spelling but there is a further corollary which stipulates that good spelling implies good grammar and syntax and hence proper English. Language is culture and the deterioration of such language logically implies the deterioration of ones culture. For example, I can be 'quick' (adjective after a copula verb) but I cannot run 'quick' rather I can run 'quickly' (adverb after a transitive verb). Americans constantly confuse adverbs with adjectives and the past tense of verbs with past participles... :-) .... I think the tradition goes all the way back to Yorktown and Cornwallis... :-) ... Beowulf is the oldest Anglo-saxon literary epic. Grendel and its mother were his nemeses... :-)....!!!! [/QUOTE]
