The King's English 101

[rondds]

At the risk of sounding like an a**hole, I felt compelled to make this post. Please keep in mind that my mother and father were teachers and this has been drilled into my head for 41+ years...

THERE: somewhere other than here. "I left my cell phone over there."

THEIR: possessive. "My neighbors took back their leaf blower."

THEY'RE: they are. "If you are looking for Bill and Mary, they're over at Joe's."

TWO: one plus one

TOO: also - "I'm pissed about this too!"

TO: "I'm going to the store."

:grin:

yeah... I hear ya...

I mix the "there" and "their" on this board because I type as I think and my fingers don't spell well...

I also mix "here" and "hear"...

etc...

but I'm not stupid.

like Kearney.

Senior moment here (hear?), was that a Bidenism, or a Quayleism? I don't think a Goreism, but I could be wrong. Would I be safe in saying Veepism?
