I spent most of my life being completely appalled by misspellings and improper grammar usage, but then I married a man who has very little grasp of either concept and it knocked me off my pedestal. Don't get me wrong, particular incorrect things (such as 'husband and I' needing to be 'husband and me'), especially those in print, still scream at me, but I just don't vocalize about them quite as much anymore - especially since I often make mistakes anyway. I finally realized that not everybody was subject to people like my father, and not everybody posesses the ambition to improve on their skills. Hell, some will just never know better and/or don't give a rat's ass in the first place (much in the manner of my husband, who mispronounces words on purpose because he knows it chaps my arse). On that note, I WILL mention that I deplore the overuse of exclamation points, while not incorrect, they are just beaten to death sometimes. <br /><br />VI & Lawyer...hilarious.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129727929506274026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-6157568175111423582011-02-20T09:17:45.431-05:002011-02-20T09:17:45.431-05:00Chedder cheese.
