Growing up in the same house with the same English teaching mother taught me what is correct, but I still have no idea why! It took me until 8th grade Spanish to learn what a pronoun is . . . but I was able to pick all the right answers on the ACT! I simply cannot hear/see a grammar/spelling error and not catch it, though I'm not sure I get that weird satisfaction out of it . . . and by the way there are several errors in the book I got you for your birthday. The good news is it looks like instead of annoying you, it will give you satisfaction to catch them all! PS thanks for waiting over a month to post the answer so I had a chance to comment:)Jenniehttp://jennieandvance.spaces.live.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156443342740196402.post-50809884875541809072009-06-17T11:51:50.599-07:002009-06-17T11:51:50.599-07:00dangit I forgot to push spell check on that last c...dangit I forgot to push spell check on that last comment ;)Charishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694563768758828922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156443342740196402.post-52986979836363016992009-06-17T11:51:24.834-07:002009-06-17T11:51:24.834-07:00I am with sadie, I don't know, but I also don...I am with sadie, I don't know, but I also don't care, so I won't stay up nights woring about it, and I also will not stay up nights worring if you are shaking your head at all of my misspellings and lack of commas ect.
