A long time ago, I used to correct everyone's grammar. I thought, surely they WANT to know how to speak correctly. Guess what? They didn't...and don't. Pretty soon LOLCAT English will be the norm. I can haz cheezburger? Sigh.

I, too, must be a reincarnated English professor... irregardless of what others think. (or as my daughter says: dis-irregardless) :-)))

Thanks, laurajane. I'm one of those people who want English spoken somewhat correctly. I know I'm loosing.
