Nope, not an English teacher. I dont even play one on TV, nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I did go to school in East Tennessee in an era when the fundamentals of English were stressed by most of the faculty and indelibly impressed upon our little Tennessee munchkin brains. Lessons like that are hard to forget. For better or worse, seeing such basic rules abused just pushes my internal correction button almost every time I come across such an error, especially when the mistake is made by someone who probably knows better. Since Tennessee fans are the best fans in the world, I guess I just expect perfection in all things, even if that is unrealistic. But, my corrections are meant merely as constructive criticism, not as castigation. Ive been known to make a typographical error or letter transposition myself in the past, but dont mind someone else pointing out my mistakes. Life is one big learning experience and thats just part of the learning process. And very few of my posts on this site have to do with grammar correction, but it may seem that way if those are the only ones you see. If they annoy you, just ignore them and move along. It wont be the first time Ive been ignored.
Go Vols!
