Regardless, .....LOL

Mike H Said: Its funny how habit and dialect are so hard to overcome. If only I could speak like I can write, I might even fool the people that know me.

That is so true.

Even when I am half asleep, I can type pretty decent content, but get me talking when I am exhausted and I sound like a punch drunk fighter.

Yeah, but for a first-rate stand-up guy with a ton of knowledge and a kind of unerring and sophisticated sense of what's up (except for some of your voting practices) I'm calling you out on your hick-ness. You are but you aint. I got my briar patch too. No big deal. If you want to just look like some dumb hick you better stop writing so well as soon as possible.>>>

Tanking is the word that really chaps my arse. LOL

Honestly, aside from then and than, not much.

I laugh at my own typing skills more than anything. I frequently leave off the "R" when typing "YOUR", and since I never proof anything before hitting "save", I just look like some dumb hick.>>>

Seriously though (I'll stop picking on my Albion friends) when it comes to language it's like this: give me a plateful of mashed potatoes and gravy and I can sit up and take nourishment, scoop them up with a stick, or even bare fisted, and then go on talking to ya while I chew with my mouth open. It's all good. I can nail on shingles crooked. You can't see them from the ground. I can smear caulking all around the chimney. It'll never leak. Attention to detail and respect for the material is secondary to getting the job done. Words is words, meaningless really. Not sure why we even bother with em actually. I got about sixteen shelves filled with other peoples' delusions that language is an art form. My crooked shingles keepem dry. All is well with the world.>>>

rotfl! Ok, me first then...I hate the word, 'sarking' even though I know it is a real word. And I don't like 'upstand' much either. lol.>>>
