We lived on Whidbey Island many years ago when my husband was attached to a naval air squadron at the naval air station. We loved the area and still have many fond memories. It was beautiful out there!
I have been in awe in reading some of the letters of Civil War soldiers.
At the time the educational programming...hadnt yet eliminated respect for the language.
Grace and beauty along with literacy are intended victims of the current crop of crass “educational” “professional”s....it would appear to me.
Imagine the current grammy “program” in the 1800’s....
