Re: I feel the need to educate.
 And it's

I COULDN'T CARE LESS   - meaning that there is no way you could care any less than you do (as in you DON'T CARE!)

If you could care less means you do care and it is possible to care less than you already do.

Re: I feel the need to educate.
My friend from Finland says "cheese" instead of geez, that's pretty funny. And my grandpa says "terlet" for "toilet".

And after just now looking out my window, I'm going to say "Sh*t" instead of "snow". :x

Re: I feel the need to educate.
 Y'all got sumpin against me or wut? Prolly all talkin bout me...must have nuttin better to do wif ur time...

I am guilty of not writing grammatically correct sentences, words, whatev... It is mostly because I do not proofread before I post ... or I am just being silly (like above). Giving up the "..." is not an option. It is how I roll. I was obviously one of those peeps that had no idea what the @ symbol meant. I was told *at, around, or about*. Learn something new everyday.

I do know the rules (at least the basics), but I try to save brain cell juice for papers and important emails.

I may have to send all of my posts through the word grammar and spell check from now on. :-D

Bella's kindergarten class picture from a not-so-cheap, highly recommended Montessori came home with the words..."KindergarDen Class of 2007" printed in a nice, bold font.  The  photographer made the error, but no one at the Montessori noticed it until I pointed it out to them! 

Try as I might, I can't give up the "..."  So, you're going to have to live with those, Jamie! :-D


Yep.  That's a big one for me the whole Kindergarden or worse, Kindygarden.  Last summer when we went mini-golfing I saw a thank you poster from one of our local schools that prides itself in how structured their learning environment is and how high their students score on the state tests.  Yep. It was from the Kindergarden class (that part was obviously written by the teacher with signatures from the kids).  Yike!

Oh, and BTW...........

OH, and watch those renegade apostrophes before the "S" in every word ending with said letter "S".Those little buggers seem to weasel their way into every sentence, needed or not!
You know what, that is something that I know I do.  Those darn things frustrate the heck out of me, I have never figured them out and I am actually a pretty decent speller. (Not that I can type of course though!!) But those darn things just land wherever they feel like!  Sorry, but they whipped me long ago and I just let them have their way.

Some people think it's funny to call me "HY-me."  Which is how you'd say it in Spanish.  Image  I wasn't able to speak at the time I was named, unfortunately.

I thought Hymie was a Jewish name?

Seriously though, I'd hate not to intentioanlly spell stuff silly on purpose but those who just don't know the difference drive me nutso.

I loved English and the fine arts in school but could not STAND any math other than general math. Adding, subtracting, decimals, fractions and stuff like that? Fine. Just don't give me that complicated stuff like algebra or calculus. *shudder*  Makes my head hurt.
I love learning too!  But I truly feel that my brain is deteriorating by the minute.  It's scary!  I used to blame it on the kids, but I'm not so sure anymore...

I'm more into the sciences though...chemistry anyone? :-D

Re: I feel the need to educate.
 In math I was always taught that the @ was a replacement for apiece, as in bananas are .25@; and no I did not spell apiece wrong either. A piece of something is not the same as an item which is set apart to be sold invidually.

I think it's very interesting what will annoy some posters and what others will allow to slide. ;)
