Cherry might be better received if she weren't so lame in her writing and spelling abilities.

Agreed...but sometimes they have some interesting insights with humor!

I must speak up as well. I didn't make it past the first sentence, uh, line.

Yes it will surprise folks and children of this blog that there really is three Obama's running around out there

Blogs have folks and children?

"Is three"? Three is more than one, so there "are three . . ."

"Is three Obama's"? ARGH. See above. Also the author is referring to plural (more than one) Obamas, not Obama in the possessive form. Therefore, the "s" is added to the noun (in this case, the proper noun) to make it plural, rather than using an apostrophe, which would make Obama possessive.

Corrected line: "there are three Obamas . . ." And I can't correct "folks and children of this blog" because I have no idea what the author actually was trying to say there.

Yes, it matters. If you want your ideas to be communicated and received, use basic, correct grammar, syntax and spelling.

Thank you.
