What’s in a misspelled word? Liberals had their day. Cozy with Al Qaeda. Another Frenchmen writes in. Plus more.

p>Ms. Torrance is absolutely correct in her analysis of grammar
and today's young students. I teach at a community college, and
walked by the sign "Future Teacher's Of America" for one day before
I could stand it no longer. The poor young things had no idea why I
was upset with their sign!

How utterly refreshing to read Ms. Torrance commenting on the fact
that she is a "grammar nazi." Well, so am I. She snorts at an ad
listing banana's for sale. I can go her one better. I have actually
seen bananas for sale like this: bana'na's for sale. Just today,
when buying two roast beef sandwiches at Arby's, there was a
professionally written sign on the wall: complimentary salad
dressing. My husband wondered if the salad dressing was going to
pay a compliment to the salad. I'm a little tired at the moment, so
if someone finds a grammatical mistake, I apologize. I just felt
that I had to write. Ms. Torrance made my day!
