Molly and the Bear by Bob Scott for September 25, 2019

And obviously they’ve given up teaching bears the difference between spelling and vocabulary (which today’s strip deals with) and grammar (which it doesn’t)!

Bear must be reading the San Francisco Examiner and New York Times.

I thought everybody knew how to right wen they were on the web.

That’s not true, Bear. Stephen King knows how to write! So does his son. Because of them, learning to read is not in vain!

He is really smarter than the average bear, I can’t thing where I heard that before…

So truu….

Well, Ben Franklin had an idea to simplify American English further to remove much of its Frankenstein style crazy quilt aspects from its melding of several different language traditions into one confusing monstrosity. He failed. In the 21st century communication devices he could never conceive of may have done it by its very nature. Thumb typing and children spending more time writing notes to each other than actually speaking to each other. Ironic isn’t it? DZ U GT ’T?

Bear is pretty smart. and he must know how to read if he knows about “Should’ve”.

Ain’t that the sad truth…..
