I thought so too, but I found out it is simply not "proper". If you weren't part of the discussion, why do you care about spelling and grammar anyway? -- Thomas T.

Veldhouse Because illiteracy is a terrible thing. It moves from generation to generation and makes our country look stupid. Or more stupid. Don't you love it when something terrible happens, like the Virginia Tech shootings, and our elected slobs babble about heinous crimes, making "heinous" rhyme with "penis"? Alls I want (as they say in a rural county to the east of here) is a glass of water. She lives right acrost from my house.

That's all very nice, but really the tax should be levied by Greece, Crete and Cyprus instead. That's where most of the visual pollution occurs. And that way the tax would be broader and fall more on those who can afford the Mediterranean vacations. |
