Perhaps it is just a Freeborn County thing with all of this spelling stuff; after all when family's have to pay for small government to feel big by getting new offices in a mansion, how are we to teach our youth anything about possesion (your) unless it is third party?

Truth, I completely agree with you on the whole there,their and they're thing. However, I find it more offensive that you don't know that America should be capitalized!!!! If you are going to teach grammar than you yourself should begin with knowing where a ? should go. You should also know when to cpitalize a word. If I remeber correctly, I learned punctuation and capitalization before I learned conjunctions. If you go back and proof read some of the things you have posted, your paper too will be full of red marks! "Shame" In my book,

I was never much on language skills and spelling as I was taught two languages in my youth, English and Native Osage and so have a love for math and the international language $$$$$$$.

Not a problem, thanks for the correction. I think my whole point was that if "Truth" is going to try to teach people grammar than he/she should in turn use good grammar themselves. But again, thanks for the correction.

It's amazing the amount of research on statistics, study's, and articles that people on here post to share with us. It seems trivial to spend so much time focusing on gramar when its hard enough for some to get facts strait. Remember, truth is the same one that called me a bean-counter when I asked him to find some facts to back up his claims in another thread. Also, with under 20 posts so far, he's atleast once mistaken which user posted what.
I've been trying to be better about the "your & you're" thing lately since truth asked nicely, and spidey explained the difference for me. C'mon though, since then this has turned into a spelling and gramar class.
