Forget it, Fogarty! Grammar is a lost art today. I don’t know of a single newscaster or editor today that could have made a passing grade in my high school english class. U. City, MO, class of ’63.
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” – Socrates
Yes folks, they said the same things about TV some 50 years ago as they do about the internet today, and about radio before then, and print news before that.
