ML> DS> I notice many more typos in the newspapers locally than I once

ML>   Sorry - I know my grammer. Simple error. That's all. 

ML>   Two points though. First, I was the editor of a nationally 
ML>   award-winning college newspaper in the U.S. I know my grammer. 

AFAIK "grammer" is either an older female whose chirrun have spawned a 
succeeding (and sepArate) generation. Or a musician named Billy Grammer 
(a one-hit wonder from the 1950s)

Grammar, OTOH, is the rules of the language being used.  Bv)=

ML>I responded to this unfortunate (who can't spell, can't use proper
ML>logical thinking, has dubious grammar at times, and "was the editor
ML>of a nationally award-winning college newspaper") later on in the
ML>thread, very temperately and without using the language I wanted to,
ML>which would have gotten me suspended, I thought.

I do hope you managed to spank Mr/Ms "Grammer" properly - even without 
blistering the paintwork. Look on it as a pedantic public service.  Bv)=

Later - breaking back in ....

Heh heh heh - when I tried to post this my spell checker spit up all 
over "grammer" until I told it to ignore the mis-spelling.
