    Why should non-native speakers be spared? I am non-native and you can pick on me anytime.
    I confess to dumbest error I am aware of.
    I confused "drivel" with "dribble".LOL.

    art deco - I suppose it fits.

    You should be congratulated as you may be far more socially conservative than I.

    These damn kids today - they don't know how to write in cursive, they leave out vowels when spell - they type choppy sentences. What wrong with them.

    Aaaah they are trying to relay information faster?

    Why they hell would someone leave out vowels thats no way to communicate its destroying language.

    math is the language underlying the universe
    a mathematically inclined person should easily be proficient in the rules of human language

  6. Indeed. But I do not recall seeing evidence that math is hardwired into brain function like language is.

    bathrobe

    Your assumption is correct, the bathrobe is by far the most comfortable I have ever worn. The bathrobe is made of 100% polyester but is woven or brushed in a way that makes it feel like the softest, warmest and most comfortable fabric known to the world.

    It's a living language.It bothers the shit out of me to hear or read "different than rather than different from".
    All you really need to know how to spell are the words in Boolean algebra.
    Always had difficulty spelling. Started sight reading then changed to a school that used phonics in the 4'th grade. Very difficult with an abstract learning disability.
    Back in ancient times you had to figure how to learn on your own. I was in college before I figured it out.

  10. I consider grammer to be much more important than spelling.
