foldingtime Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 i hold wit de saussure's assesssssment of speling; that is: only high skool english (or french, or greek...) teachers (id est, prescriptive grammarians) care about it.
englishgirl Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 sorry to hear that, foldingtime. i still haven't heard anything from purdue, and i'm getting really tired of waiting. did they email you to let you know, or did you actually have to contact them?
Minnesotan Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 You're a jerk, Minnesotan. I prefer to think of myself as having a keen nose for irony. You have to admit, it was worth a chuckle.
anonscribe Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 I chuckled in a friendly way. I'm a grammar teacher, but I don't care about spelling. I only care when people use semicolons incorrectly...
