[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 403437, member: 1514"] I know my grammar and English are nothing next to horrible on the computer. I actually do know how to write properly when I am supposed to...I promise! My parents were brought up in New England and I went to one of the top ten schools in the country in HS. Im assuming that was for academics and not partying...lol. I get really irritated with the wrong use of me or I but I do it all the time because I have become so accustomed to sounding like everyone around me. As in me and Tony went... when it should be Tony and I went. Dual subjects should always be able to stand alone. My kids would never know that rule. My kids have horrible grammar. Their teachers were awful. I was in the office at the HS one time waiting on the principal and overheard this woman come in to make copies. She said something and I will quote her as closely as I can remember "gimme some of that there paper honey. I gots to makes me a bunch of them there tests 'fore t'morra." When the lady left I asked the woman at the counter if she was an aide and she casually said, Oh no, thats the Jr. English teacher! [/QUOTE]
