Eraser = Backspace.....And I wish more people would proofread their posts and use it.
I have heard the theories...Common usuage equals evolution in the language, so get used to it. As long as you can get your point across, fine.
While I can grasp those concepts, it seems to me that people with an above average understanding of English find themselves stuck upon these simple mistakes and cannot continue to read the post - neither with respect for the writer, nor with a comprehension of what s/he meant to convey.
In this case, the general audience does NOT understand (admittedly, I'm giving the general audience a huge benefit of the doubt as to their collective reasoning powers...no apologies). Grammer nazi comments aside, if the "mold you cast" cannot convey your ideas correctly, your ideas are worthless.
Less than a year ago I moved into a new apartment and realized hooking up phone service was pretty much ridiculous. With my cell service I get 600 minutes free a month, with free long distance and all for about the price of a conventional phone. I'm not much for chatting on the phone, so why bother? I have an answering service, a paging service and availability in a majority of the areas I "WANT" to be contacted in. In the end I finally got a phone line, but I went straight to ISDN, and its always dialed out for Internet. Thats the number I give to telemarketers...(Good luck getting me on that line...) I don't see how conventional phone companies are going to keep up unless they push DSL and such technologies a lot harder and a lot faster...
'The only good sports left are things like skateboarding, snowboarding, and sporting events like the X games.' 'But I love to play them not to watch them, except for those sports that money hasn't ruined.' Hahaha....What a contradiction in terms.... Money hasn't cheapened the sports features on the so-called 'X-Games'?? Give me a break!
