What? Is this shit even in English?

Were it not for Keith and the Girl, I don't think I would have approached my parenting in the same way had I not been given the opportunity to really think about the kind of father I want to be via the show.

As a result, I am determined - (corrected for Keith's benefit) - not to make the mistakes my parents made and I'm certainly determined not to make the mistakes Keith and Chemda's parents made.

The most important thing I want for both my son and daughter - outside of them being a serial killer or an idiot - is for them to be happy.

Keith and Chemda have taught me more about parenting than just about anyone.

No need for the comma after determined...



Always fun to hear. Thanks, and it's sounding great.

I'll overlook a lot but I've seen new text speak starting to turn up in business emails. Two people discussing serious work matters and they've got spaces, dots, exclamation points and emoticons all over the place...!!!???

I had to teach a woman at work that all caps meant shouting as she'd started to look like a lunatic. I've got bosses that haven't even turned on auto spell check.

Great letter and good luck to Kambri.

Lets sea how rong eye Kan make dis! Grammar is important in formal documents and we really should try to follow the rules to keep our society from decaying. But If one is being informal than the meaning is more important OK.

Wishing Kambri success in her business venture.

Not sure where I heard to stay for Marvel preview after Guardians of The Galaxy movie, but it wasn't worth it .

I wanted to kiss both Kambri and Keith during the grammar conversation. I mean ... like ... I build houses for a living for eff's sake so if I can get that shit straight most of the time I don't see why I should respect/not feel the urge to kill anyone who can't.

You are superendearing Invader ... except for the way you leave out the space that belongs between the preceding word and the first dot in all ellipses.

ALL ellipses.

Grammar counts. It actually helped me get my jobs in the writing/marketing field, and I've interviewed folks for similar jobs who we didn't hire based on their grammar skills. In a world where some people are able to get it right, folks should try to be on the winning side.
