George Bush obviously has problems with speaking in a grammatically correct way. If you look at a transcript of the debate his words and sentences probably look fractured and don't follow a strict rules.

I'm not voting for him for his strict adherence to grammar rules, but rather the content of his ideas. Kerry speaks in a rigid, grammitically correct way, but his ideas are hollow. Maybe some of the grammar police here should switch sides and vote Kerry.

But when you're committing words PERMANENTLY in front of a LIBRARY they should be spelled correctly.

"George Bush obviously has problems with speaking in a grammatically correct way."

Fortunate I was exposed to the Texican language in my early adult years. First I worked in the oil patch, and later engineering & construction (oil patch related).

My mother had proper New England roots. She assured me most southerners were dumb and worthless; witness how they talked.

My Dad, however, hailed from Wyoming, compelling me to be openminded, lest I judge my grandmother too harshly.

So when I heard petroleum engineers and geologists talkin texican, I paid attention.

Contrary to my Mother's ideas, these guys had masters degrees in their professional fields, and were a lot of fun to work with and get to know.

So I can understand every word Bush says, and mostly I agree with him, too.

Texican is real American talk.

The "harassment" directed toward this artist is not because of ideology (as some charge) but rather because she failed to provide quality product for the money she received for her work. It is absolutely not acceptable to present a finished work of art for public display in perpetuity that has many substantial gross misspellings of commonly known names. If she is a "serious" artist, ie. professional, it is incumbent on her to make sure her work is free from errors. If she knows she has a problem with spelling, as many people do, then she needs to look up these names in reference books or get someone else to proofread them. This is really not too much to ask of anyone providing goods or services for profit.
