It stands to reason, that if Obama had an original Birth Certificate, he would of produced it by now, just to shut up the rumors.

Would have. Would HAVE. Not "would of."

Sorry, but with all the "looses" instead of "loses," and all the "should ofs" and "would ofs" instead of "should haves" and "would haves" around here, I'm starting to feel like I'm in an ESL class.

P.S. FWIW I am inclined to agree with your larger point. And sorry for being a grammatical nit-picker. I guess this whole election is just making me very cranky.

They’re is no way I can let this slide. Its not appropriate to call attention to grammatical errors. Errors are part of life, part of it’s very essence. Your going to have to let this go.

Those who make there living from words always think they have all the answers. I know; I’ve been their. So, put aside you’re propensity for correcting grammar, and lets just have a civil discussion, okay?

[snicker] Sorry. I couldn’t resist. ;-)

I tend to be a word nerd, too.
