Check out some of the vanity posts here for “interesting” grammar. Yowsa!

er...wots rong with that?

What has happened is that spell check gives the word it THINKS you are trying to use and they pick it. The wrong one.

As for the grammar, well, there is just no excuse.

But in my quick jots on FR, I sometimes fumble the english language myself. But if I were to turn in a paper in English, you better believe it would checked and double checked.

Do you suppose there is a nascent resentment in the American psyche that English is the “national” language?

Perhaps after the Revolutionary War, the USA should have replaced English with French or Latin - that would have increased scholarship!!!!!!!!!!

Or....the English should charge royalties for its most illustrious contribution to mankind.

I’m serious;)

I read in an AP-Obama (formerly AP) article a couple of days back, forget which, where it said " he should have went.."

Now I know this sort of language is not uncommon among school dropouts, but AP-Obama ??

You are what you read, and Gen Y’ers do not read. They skim at best, and it reflects in their vapid personalities and political preferences.
