A recent submission: Usenet contributors might keep in mind that grammatical or spelling `innovations' may detract from the message they want to present. Since the above was submitted by a USA member, I would call it a self-contradictory statement. But I'm not a "language consultant", so I could be wrong. Has `' supplanted ""? In any case, is not `' an innovation compared to ``? Furthermore, were the previous two sentences grammatically correct? Are there any English teachers out there? I think I need help.

"Are there any English teachers out there? I think I need help." Excellent. Recognizing you need help is the first step on the road to recovery.
