<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 307790, member: 50&quot;]HaHa Walter good to see you on the boards! I hope you&#039;re doing well (though apparently you&#039;re eating rocks and nails for breakfast<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />LOL).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found Cassy to be very polite so please Cassy don&#039;t be dissuaded and come back anytime!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now....the English language<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />. I wouldn&#039;t want the light to shine too brightly on my own use of it. I was called out for my use of &quot;alot &quot;vs. &quot;a lot&quot; once here. Actually I was taught the way I use/used it in American school once upon a time and from other&#039;s responses I wasn&#039;t the only one. That and the fact that if I&#039;m typing on my phone, between the auto-correct and the small screen apparently I can&#039;t read diddly so later can&#039;t believe what I typed<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>I play little grammar game apps and am appalled at my ability sometimes. Then I sometimes wonder where the people are who made the apps. I have a dear, highly educated friend in Scotland that when proofreading a doctoral paper for an American friend was trying to fix things that were proper usage here. Now that particular paper was headed to England so I suspect the changes stayed but it just was interesting to note the ways that the same language has different accepted usages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway......I think I&#039;m more about communication that I am about grammar (as many will probably have noted<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" />). If I understand what someone is saying I&#039;m not so concerned about how they say it. I&#039;ve had a rough year and some things just seem less important than others I guess.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway Walter.....hope your feeling well these days<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
