I collect alot of Ruth stuff but sadly, if I were to purchase it I don't think I'd be around long to enjoy it...

    I don't think anyone knows how to spell these days. It's disgusting. I see improper use of "there" and "their" so often that I'm almost numb to it. And apostrophes are ONLY used where they DON'T belong.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Maybe they aren't dummies.

    Maybe they are talking about their pants being loose from losing all that weight? image

    He has to compete with Lou Gehrig. If Lou could have a disease named after him why can't Babe Ruth have a plague named after him. It is only fair.

    Of course you meant to say "...apostrophes are used ONLY where they DON'T belong." image

    I know. The nonsensical apostrophes on plural nonpossessive nouns is just absurd as in: "Babe Ruth used two bat's that day." Bat's what?

    The other one is the incorrect use of then and than. "I'd rather have a '33 Goudey Babe Ruth then a '33 Goudey Chuck Klein." OK, so you want Ruth and Klein, and you want the Ruth first?

    I am taking a newswriting class this fall, we were given 3 pages of commonly misspelled or misused words. It just amazes me sometimes how our written language has deteriorated.

    *Ding Ding Ding* Give that man a cigar! Sir you are correct! Eventually the feds want us all speaking Spanish eventually. It is an "easier" language to learn. I know both languages. Personally I rather speak English. I like the English language much better. It even sounds better when spoken vs. the Spanish language IMO.

    Funny. Plaques are my business and it is amazing how many people come in to the store with a "to do" list and ordering a "plague" is one of them.

    The worst offenders of spelling I see in my business are non other than....SCHOOL TEACHERS!! Since I actually have 80% of an education degree, I feel i can make fun of them a little more, but its no wonder that so many people misspell words nowadays, since the people teaching cant spell them right. I once had a teacher in 2nd grade tell me that the word Cowboy has three syllables.. COW-BOY-YEE.

    Well, as a school teacher, allow me to correct your spelling and grammar errors:
    1) It's "none other than".
    2) You didn't capitalize an I
    3) Your second sentence is a run-on
    4) Should be "it's no wonder"
    5) You also left the apostrophe out of cant

    I know many, many teachers and none of them would've made the mistakes you made above. But then again, they all have 100% of an education degree.
