What is the burning desire that makes people go out of
their way to
correct
grammar in posts? Unlike in programming where a
decimal point in the wrong
place means something completely different , you can misspell a word and
the
target audience still knows exactly what your talking
about. The English
language is full of words bastardized by the locals to communicate with
whatever society conquered England at the time (Vikings, Normans, etc).
The
language and spelling changes slightly every year and
can be used to
figure
out what society and era the text came from (I bet
bootyliscious is in the
dictionary by now).
Again , I have to apologise , but I just happen to be into logic - in a
small way !
and " must of " does not compute in that context. Just trying to be
helpful.
