“There are a couple of regular posters here on FR who make it there business to correct errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation and vocabulary.”

You know what that is? That is loyalty. Such people want our side to look its best. They want us to look educated and intelligent.

When I make a mistake, I welcome correction. I don’t want some dimwit leftard to have grounds to invoke the stereotype of the idiot southerner with a sixty-word vocabulary who debauches his cousins.

It was said of William F. Buckley that he spoke the English language like Yardbird played the saxophone. I doubt that anyone will every say that of me, but I do think that with hard work I can avoid sounding like a third-grade dropout.

By the way, it should be “their business,” not “there business.” Unless you’re in a Mel Brooks movie.

“Where business?”
“There business.”
“Why are we talking like this?”
“I thought you wanted to.”
“No, I don’t want to.”
