Most of the fifth grade must be "Proper usage of 'ain't' in a sentence." (I'm an Okie so I can say this kind of stuff.)

Observing and/or participating in discussions such as this is one of the greatest parts of being a HotFor Words devotee. I read everything, seldom say much, but I had to this time. And to you, Marina, I simply say thanks again. Always. After reading this exchange a second time, I want to thank you guys for being confident and cool enough to interact like this here.

Oh, puh-leeease! Nolo Contendere, yer honor! You are exceedingly lovlier than she, and you have more class in your little toenail than she will ever have if she starts taking charm lessons immediately. You're both blonde, can maybe wear each other's shirts (not recommended), but after that the similarity ends like a dead-end road for her. Just sayin'. xoxo dc Teacher, that was a cool article but I must take exception with one thing that the author wrote: “Pam Anderson-like appeal.” Oh, puh-leeease! Nolo Contendere, yer honor!

The weird thing was pointing out every correction to the final readers. :) I think corrections must be applied to any interview, but the standard journalist’s procedure is to correct it, send the script to the interviewee to get the authorization and then publish.

On top of being free, rich and brave? I wonder if most Americans are unilingual? The 'official' statistics say there is 300+ millions of them on earth, consuming more than 25% of the total of earth's natural resources. Some say they are a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE" rel="nofollow">very sexy</a> bunch too. Heck.. You know.. The stats, the stats, they can say whatever they want, whenever and wherever they want. Nothing is freer than a statistic. So Americans are extremely forgiving and generous then?
