Ok, me thinks someone is a bit bored. Dude you should get the lead out! Instead of bearing the wind and cold I turned to watching the Jazz (get slammed) while assembling more beer-cap spinners. (takes all kinds, you know you're a redneck when. . . )
I know you (and I) intentionerly drift of the correctedness of grammer and spelling, for kids and giggles. But fully agree - as a College TA - I practically gave up on making exams that asked for "short sentence" answers. Seemed folks were much more geared for the Multiple Choise options that actually starting with a capital, and ending with punctiation.
Sorry, but I call some of it Utah Speak. Not to call anyone out, but if you look at some of the grammatical presentations by an old timer like Bassrods - you see demonstrated some of the 'local sez'. Makes me laugh. (we dun gone up to to lake). Have coworkers that do it all the time. I just try to avoid slipping into the jargon myself (yeah - I went to an eastern "prep school" and Mrs Raven would tan my hide if she caught me using such conjucations and rhetoric! )
I find I often have to reread to catch those simple mishaps, like the THERE, THEIR, THEY'RE contusions.
But hey - it's all good. Anyone who's willing to throw down a post of a nice adventure, or some slick fish - they've got my forgiveness in the grammer department anyday.
