waht is dis mean? – Part Deux

G wrote about the 100 words the editors of the American Heritage dictionaries would have us all know, in order to pronounce us worthy of the label of “probably (having) a good command of the English Language”.

AAG writes a wonderful post about grammar and spelling in courtship communications.

If we can’t teach our high school graduates spelling and grammar (as evidenced by the painfully-widespread confusion of “your” with “you’re”), forget any “enervating, vehement, supercilious and fatuous lugubriousness” about the vocabulary of the general population. The real issue lies elsewhere.

Face it. If you display a persistent tendency of being unable to spell and punctuate, the IQ of your Internet persona as perceived by your readers is going to tank.
