Spelling and grammatical errors on the forum don't generally matter to me, but when one is incorporated into an insult to all other Americans,  it really made me laugh!

 

As a dumm American,  thanks for highlighting it!  So amusing!

Thank you.  I was a secretary and went to school for word processing, and was an English major.  I guess that is my reasoning.  People in public speaking should know how to speak correctly.


@luvmybeetle You stated your English is not the best but here you are an English major? 🤔

 

Your thread title needs correction, especially with the apostrophe.

 

 


You are correct.  I guess I was telling the truth.  My English is not the best.  Hey I'm old, what can I say.

Since you like things done correctly, keep in mind that you could always correct the mistake in your title.

Thanks, I just did.  I guess I figured since everyone already noticed my mistake it would not matter.

It grates my ears to hear the word "literally" used the way Jane Treacy does. It seems like she has to say it in every sentence. All she is doing is demonstrating that she is ignorant of its meaning. Somebody get that woman a dictionary and a thesaurus.
