However, being a new Smartphone customer, I do understand the new "typing," which often breaks the rules. I have yet to figure out how to do a capital letter on my phone. : ) It's good to hear from you!Jane Congdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12273089180840963329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380679873657248215.post-90249831839277671932012-08-09T19:17:35.671-07:002012-08-09T19:17:35.671-07:00Oh, how I agree with you Jane.

One that comes to mind is that brand X has less calories than brand Y. Why not say fewer? Why can't TV script writers use good grammar in programs where the vernacular isn't the point? And what really annoys me is news anchors and weather people using bad grammar. "Me and John went to the park." "Michael Phelps had...swam (Savannah Guthrie, Today Show actually said something like this. It's not an exact quote but I know it was "have" followed a word or two later with "swam.")." "John and myself interviewed him." "John talked with Matt and I." I've heard all these. Arrrrrghhhhhh!Marla Kapperudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302544589812074158noreply@blogger.com
