This is so true, and brings to mind those some of those commenting upon poems, who manage to contradict themselves so perfectly, as to say absolutely nothing! Hope I didn't just do that....heh.

From your point of view Sandra it must be frustrating to constantly check grammar spelling, and I admire you so much for teaching the English language. However, in Australia some schools don't bother about correct grammar and spelling. So I reckon it depends on the teacher and I think you would be excellent! 10 Karin Anderson

The way we use english has nothing to do with compilation in dictionary. Its whether we can contribute anything to the language.
