Well, "Teach", maybe this old farmboy has had it all wrong all these years. I thought that language was a means of communication , and not a contest to see who uses the best spelling, proper grammer and correct punctuation. In the 65 years that I have graced this planet, the #1 thing I have learned about communication is there is way too often the illusion that it actually took place. Mr. Rogers in the simplest form of the English language was able to communicate better than most of his highly degreed contemporaries. I also learned long ago that there is a vast difference between a "Degree" and an "Education". By the way, I caught myself in a definite "no-no while bringing the cows into the milking parlor. I told Gertrude that she was to go into the correct stantion "irregardless" of how much she wanted to go into the next one. I vowed that I would never use incorrect words or redundancies, such as "irregardless" while communicating with the cows, as they may detect my lack of proper learning and decide to take advantage by revolting in unison. Imagine 20 cows all heading for the wrong stantion (or is it stansion), all because I used the word "irregardless".
