I'm just a dumb old country boy but I had a red headed aunt who was my freshman English teacher and she didn't cut me one bit of slack. I guess she scarred me for life. LOL
YES!!!  Bill is as about right as rain.
Hubert, you forgot about there...and there are a host of others!!!  Go back to (I believe it was 1973) when someone wrote about the "Dumbing down of America".  It was true then, and it's getting worse every year since. 
ALL these teachers going on strike and screaming,,,,,,,,,,,,FIRE THE WHOLE works!!!  There are a lot of people out there LOOKING for a job, a career, a lively hood.  Let's bring education BACK!!!!  I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO TEACH my grandchildren, or great grandchildren....  I WANT SOMEONE TO EDUCATE them.  There is a WORLD of difference.  Those of us who are old enough KNOW this.  The WORST part is the political machine that is trying to coerce our children into being pawns in the political process...WHAT A SHAME!!
SORRY about my ranting,,,,but I truly believe in EDUCATING our prodigy instead of TEACHING them....  Shame on ALL the azzholes who fit into this farce of teaching our children in America.  AND I MEAN FARCE!!!
Teachers who disagree with me,,,,,,,,,wanna sit down and we can argue and YOU WILL LOSE....

I consider myself a fairly good speller but I seem to have gone down hill since
grade school  when I was one of the two best spellers in the whole sixth grade class.

You had THREE kids in your class??  LMAO!!

However, as I was typing this, spellcheck corrected me at least three times.  LOL

Ain't technology great?  LOL
I guess what makes me SO MAD is the fact that teachers DON'T CARE how you spell anymore.  THEY DON'T GAS!!  (Give a ,,,,,,)

I went BALLISTIC last week when my granddaughter came home with her math and I sat down to help her.  I want to go THROTTLE somebody in that school district!!  SOMEONE NEEDS/DESERVES to get fired over this crap!!!

I'm sorry guys, but my WHOLE, (not hole) life, I was RAISED and EDUCATED (NEVER taught) by NUNS.  YES, I got the GREATEST education you could have and I'm proud of it.  I don't belittle people for the way they spell or talk or read and write.  I just feel that they got short changed in the education department.  The difference........they were taught, NOT EDUCATED...    A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!!

I agree with Ted about the "dumbing down of America", and the whole educational system.  The educational system is becoming too lenient, especially with the 3 R's (reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic).  Another part of the problem is the use of texting.  I think texting is a great tool and very useful.  HOWEVER, it is grossly misused and abused. R instead of are.  U instead of you, etc.  People are getting TOO lazy.

The word I see misspelled often on this forum is quite, when they mean quiet.

One of my PET peeves is someone saying "unthawing". If it is warm enough that it isn't freezing, it is THAWING! I guess unthawing would be freezing....

Blaming the teachers is like blaming the assembly workers for a poorly engineered car.
As a former teacher (just one of my careers) I can assure you that teaching policies are made by people who make only token visits to actual classrooms.
And the on-site administrators (principals, etc.) are so focused on their career advancements that they do their best to impress those upper level policy makers with statistics demonstrating how well they are complying.
Thus teachers are quite strongly discouraged from giving F's and strongly rewarded for fudging up on all grades... to the point of threats to close down programs or re-assign teachers to undesirable classes or classrooms.

Their justification - and unfortunately it does make at least some sense in the Alice In Wonderland world of education - is that federal and state funding depends on how well school districts adhere to even well recognized disastrous programs that sound so good like "No Child Left Behind".

end of rant.

the use of words like "prolly" would be inappropriate in a formal document, but make a helluva lot of sense when you're yakking' with a buddy -  which is pretty much what this forum is about.

never saw the word before, love it and do not care if it's in Webster's or not.

Now, that's funny!

Some people "drawer" a pitcher and some people draw a picture.

Then, some people keep their "cloths" in a "draw".

Would you give me your grandma's "receipt" for her apple pie?
I heard that lots of times in the old days.
Believe it or not , according to my Webster's dictionary, receipt can be used to
mean recipe.

Probably the most misspelled word on the tractor sites is "carburator"
for carburetor. 

Again, I don't really care as long as the message makes sense otherwise.

my grammar used to do the warsh...  but then she was from nay-ash-vul.

on the other hand, in Boston all the R's are silent... but definitely not the Irish ladies!

Something here reminds me of the old story, about the west virginian's wedding.

Boy was nervous about the wedding night, so he asked his uncle/dad, what do I do?

Old man sez Boy, just take that hard thing you play with, and put it where she pees....

Don, I agree with you. Most of the teachers do their best to educate their students but have to put up with overpaid administrators trying to climb the career ladder, unruly students, parents who won't discipline and think their child can do no wrong, and keeping up with all the useless requirements it is a wonder they can teach at all. There are some gad apples just like in any profession but most love their students and try to do their best. One thing that burns me is that 2/3 or more of my property tax bill goes to the school board but teachers have to take their own money to buy classroom supplies.

When my daughter was in elementary school the county was still mostly rural and we had a great principal that RAN the school. It was HER school, HER children and she loved every one of them but she was not afraid to pull out the paddle and use it. She did not back down from any parent, the school superintendent, or anyone else. And she was "Mrs." not "Dr." The school really went down after she retired.
Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

ever wonder how a made-up word like that "got started"?
Webster's does include new words every year that are accepted as legit because of "usage".

My grandmother's rule, was that we were only allowed to misspell, misuse forms, grammar, or punctuation if we'd proven that we were entirely understanding of how it SHOULD be, and it was only allowed to illustrate a particular circumstance.

The basis of that, was Joel Chandler Harris- author and journalist, who was exceptional not only with proper language, but also very aware of colloquialisms, slang, vernacular, accents and common linguistic mistakes.  He used those intentionally, to draw a mental picture within his readers much deeper than common and proper language would provide.

Many of the 'pert-nears' and 'gontus' are direct result of transitions 'old world' language.  Realize that English (of England) is a substantial conglomeration of languages-  three thousand years of local cultures... Irish, Welsh, Scots... Normans, Romans, Britons... they're all different, and this language WE speak is a successor to that fact.
American English is substantially different to 'England English" as a result of the 'melting pot' of a wide variety of western and eastern Europeans... pick ANY word, and follow roots to somewhere... you'll be surprised to find out how many are 'colored' by the cultural diversity that found it's way here.  Imagine a guy of Germanic persuasion trying to prounouce a Native American name for a river, or a tribe.

But yes, a duel is frequently fought with pistols, but can also be with sword, saber, cutlass, dagger, tanto, dirk, scimitar, rapier, foil, or brand.  Of course, it could be by joust, or fisticuff.  People do it with cars, so  I suppose you could challenge someone to a tractor duel.  I'd rather watch 'backhoe boxing'.

Modern technology promolugates improper usage- particularly spell-checking and 'word-correction'.  I despise those functions- when I INTEND to misuse language, I don't appreciate being 'nanny' corrected by some brainless machine.

So that bein' said, I'll let 'y'all, and for you Texans... All 'y'all... do it on how best you see fit, just so long as you abide by a simple rule:

Don't dare you dare forget Plural and Possession.  I WILL CITE YOU for IMPROPER DISPLAY OF AN APOSTROPHE.

I.....uh.......have "learned" to tolerate a LOT since the years of first joining this and various other forums.  One thing that's a bummer is the phone and the auto correct, it can really mess with you.  Quite and quiet was mentioned, your dang phone can do that and you're very likely going to miss the change.  There are occasions where the irony of someone's mistake is so immense I sometimes can't let it go.  For example, someone pointing out how they don't need no fancy edumacashun, then call it "collage" instead of college.  That's just funny in my book!
 
Things that grate me, usually quietly in the background: "prolly", corn stocks (STALKS!), "of" instead of the contraction 've such as should of instead of should've. 
 
"Pert near", that's just dialect for "pretty near" I always thought. 
 
Conversational versus written language is interesting, especially (exspecially!Angry) when we try to write a conversation as on here!
