THe hardest course I too in college was not Field and Wave electromagnetics or Accelerator Physics. It was Grammar.

I had to unlearn everything I thought I knew.

I had a friend who always pronounced ‘spaghetti’ with a ‘p’ … ‘psghetti.’ She sounded like an air compressor starting up.

Don’t all living things have “p” in them until they relieve themselves? No wonder why this snowflake cried like a banshee to her momma. She was full of crap.

In real life, there is no participation trophy. Either you do or do not. Try or try not. But do not cry about it, if you tried not to do something.

Good points, from a Tom to a Tom. All of us learned snippets of English that no doubt violate some rules of the language.

But no doubt your kids were not raised to be so self-centered that they can’t take constructive criticism, and think they have a “right” to spell any d-mn way they please. So they would listen politely to their boss and carry out his instructions, without complaint and without whining or calling you or your wife.

All children say it that way. Problem with your friend is that no one ever corrected her, probably because it sounded so durned cute.

Sounds like an East Coaster. Probably from New Hampster.

“If the young woman is neuroatypical, it seems as though the editing process might be something to approach in a different way.”

Meaning “if she is crazy”, and if she is, she really shouldn’t be doing a job where writing, especially stuff intended for public consumption that is going to represent the company, is part of the job.

I know we have the ADA, but “reasonable accommodation” doesn’t mean giving people jobs they are incapable of doing.

No one has a “right” to spell the English language the way they want to.

Get back to me after you look up sodaine.

Yeah, that one is great.

I’ll tell you some time.

That’s similar to all the people who use “pacifically” for “specifically.” Drives me nuts. I want to say “pacifically as opposed to atlantically?”
