Life today is super fast paced.

Not only to we take tons of shortcuts in life we sure do it with grammer and spelling....shortening words etc.

I'm a grammar freak and absolute grammar police woman. I had to learn not to correct my husband's grammar while we were dating :/ His family was looking at me funny.

Now I have a 9-yo son who can't spell to save his life. The kids' grammar is wonderful when spoken, but spelling? :barnie Ok, deep breath. I will keep plugging away...

Question:

The following was posted:

Glorp....the glug sound that the jug makes when I tip it up and pour!


Are we going to allow this kind of a word? "Glorp" is a five letter word so I feel that it can be allowed; however, I am wondering about "glug?" IT'S A FOUR LETTER WORD!!!!!!!!! :idunno ??????????

Eggs is also a four letter word, as are word and four. Methinks we can keep (another one) some (another one) four letter words.

What happened to Calvin and Hobbes?

Good to see you here. It is a real friendly place and easier to keep up with.
