babyboomer's Comments

All of these comments are very interesting to read. I can appreciate the opposing points of view. When informal and personal communication is the main issue, don't worry over regional speech, common slang, or other words that you personally wouldn't choose to use, as long as you understand the speaker. In a formal setting or for something being said or written for posterity, try to make an attempt at standard usage. Let this poster be appreciated as a joke for the ones of us who like to pick out every mistake. I know repetitive phrases can become annoying, but try to value users for the color and variety they add to the world. Everyone may not have been afforded the same educational benefits and cultural surroundings. Not everyone had a mother like mine who went behind me correcting every mistake in grammar when I was young. Does this make them any less worthy? Does finding fault with them make us better people in any way? I don't think so.

Don't kill something just because "it's THERE" -- try to make a buck out of it! That's what we tell the Amazonian rain forest dwellers and people of Africa and everyone else on the planet with money problems--don't destroy your resources. Open a wildlife refuge and let tourists pay a lot of money to take pictures of the rare white moose! Add big bucks to the GNP of Norway!
