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.

I do believe that the computer has aided the fall of the English prose. I look at the various writings of our founding fathers and I’m left in awe.

I tend to use run-ons and leave out necessary commas when writing on this forum. I thought it had improved my writing, but when I started grad school I realized I had some habits that needed to be corrected. Sometimes I use fragments for effect, and intentionaly mis-spell words.
