[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 235923, member: 1233"] WOW!!! I am NOT the only one who has returned papers to the school with mistakes corrected in red pen!!!! I first did it in Ohio when they took Wiz' recess away because he didn't catch ALL of the teacher's spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. He was in 2nd grade. I not only marked them in red pen, I sent copies to the Superintendent of Schools with a note about Wiz losing recess over this. (The Superintendent was my Great Uncle - and he truly was GREAT!) I HATE yous guys, I also hate warsh as in "warsh your clothes in the warshing machine". I don't have any problems with y'all though. Not sure why. But one of my BIGGEST pet peeves is having an English teacher who cannot use proper grammar or spelling. I don't have ovaries. Of any kind, not anymore. I have been known to tell people I have Balls, and they are bigger than any man's and up closer to my brain. I am referring to my breasts, of course - they are rounded and far tougher than that part of a guy. Let a guy try to nurse an infant with ANY body part. ROFL! I have HUGE problems when I am walking through a store and find signs that are spelled incorrectly. Especially if the mistake is in the spelling of the brand name of a product that is right there next to the sign. When I point these errors out to store managers, more often than not I get a blank look. It makes me hand over my chosen items and go to a different store about 9 out of 10 times. I also object to purchasing a product that is "chemical free". I was looking at makeup at Ulta and one several lines advertised as being "chemical free". WATER has chemicals in it. Everything has a chemical formula when broken down. The mineral makeup cannot possibly be chemical free because it has minerals in it. ALL minerals have a chemical makeup. I will stop now. [/QUOTE]
