That sentence looks okay to me, where am I and she wrong. Can you print it as a correct sentence for me? I’m so bad at English I have to press #1 just to talk. LOL

"I do have the upmost respect for the President..."

My apologies. I should have included the proper editor's (sic) mark.

It should have read:

"I do have the upmost (sic) respect for the President..."

The proper word is "utmost".

There is no such word as "upmost". The closest approximation would be "uppermost"...whose meaning should be clear.
