Apparently you're right about spelling being out. "Grammar" has never
been spelled with an "e". Even my spelling checker (which I almost
never use) tells me it's spelled wrong with an "e".
at least one mistake. I don't mean to pick on the above sender alone.
A glance at any of the comp. newsgroups will display a litany of bright
folks who have only a meager ability to express themselves.
As a reader of news for many years, I worry that those who warn of an
education gap between the U.S. and other nations are right. The news
connects the best and brightest of our society and yet they cannot
express themselves in the simplest fashion.
Why post this to the shuttle group? This one was just too flagrant to
let pass. I rarely post to any group so go ahead and flame at will
and I won't turn it into a boring thread. I'd be happy to read any
comments sent to me.
Please, if you are going to flame spelling, make absolutely positively
sure you spell your article correctly. Otherwise you look rather
hypocritical at best.
