So, though I strive to be excellent at grammar, it’s not a necessity to gain a tremendous readership.

Good ideas, however, are.

Oh, and can you Stumble this for me…?

I am a nit-picky person who cringes when something doesn’t “flow” correctly, or when I see a blatant misspelling. My biggest pet peeve though, is when I proof my own post over and over before hitting “publish” only to see about five glaring errors when I look at it in the finished live mode. I have to rush to get all of them corrected before anyone else reads my blog.

Living in a rural area, though, has taught me some patience. Daily I hear sentences such as, “Yeah, we done that this weekend,” or “We coulda did that, but we didn’t,” or “They’s coming over tonight.”

Once an old boss said to me, “I might could let you do that.” I stared at him, waiting for further light and knowledge. Did he mean I might be able to do that? Or did he mean I could do that? I finally had to break down and ask, “What does ‘might could’ mean?” Apparently in Utah it means “maybe.”

My favorite though, was a couple of weeks ago when my son’s English(!) teacher sent home the following note: “Their has been kids who have not turned in their assignment.”

Janice: I almost just submitted my comment as “Yeah, what Janice said.” Good comments. I think Sean was just kidding about you out-wording Mark. I submitted a long comment once and he still lets me play here.

Matthew: Very effective point!
