Not including folk who are learning the language, do not speak the language well, have a limited education, etcetra. I am not picking on folk who are trying or on folk who are new here (legally or otherwise).
I'm speaking of people like our president (It's NU-CLE-AR, not NUKULAR). Yeah, I know that they have added a spelling like this to the dictionary so that the pres does not appear stupid. Yikes!
I'm speaking of folk with a basic education. It's 'Go ask you Mom' not 'Go axe your Moma'! It's not that difficult people!
Yeah, I know that one too! Totally ruined a very nice song a few years ago.
Not asking for perfection, just try! There are spell checkers available. I am not a racist. Heck, why do you think Obama stands such a very good chance to make it to the White House?
Sorry, ranting here ... I just came across a kid asking for help for homework but they made no attempt at 'trying' to use the language properly.
Am I the only one bothered by this? Trivial or what?
