i flew with our 5 yr old from d.c. to n.m. last may.

Did you know that not only should the first word of a sentence
be capitalized, but also "I" when referring to yourself?
Sure enough. It's a new thing we have called grammar.

Months, like "May", also should be capitalized. Did you know?
"DC" and "NM" also should be capitalized, were you aware?

I guess either you are nine years old or just want to make FR look like a bunch of illiterates.

I'll go with the nine years old scenario and hope you learn something soon.

Tell mommy that you shouldn't go to adult sites until you learn to write, there's a good girl.

Yeah, you know, after my wife (leda) got her master's degree, she decided that post on the internet were pretty trivial.

She writes very casually on this board, ignoring caps and all that.

Who really cares, humblegunner?

Do you know, she started this year with a SpED student, who the experts said would never read or write. Now the kid reads, and writes.

The same experts comment, "The kid forms her "n"s badly.

They said she would never form an N, leda fixed that.

Now they complain, she does it badly.

Some people are never satisfied.

I once watched leda spend six months teaching a kid the difference between "rough" and "smooth."

Actually, watched is a bad choice of words - I paid her tuition at University, for the privelege of watching her do it. How nice, that I got to pay for her to work for free.

Years ago, she had another kid, everybody said he would be a vegetable for life, etc.

I think he is making his own way, now, and doing quite well at it.

Leda does what she does, and she is damn good at it.

I could care less if she uses caps on the internet, and I am ashamed that you do.
