    There is no COULD OF!
    "could of" is really "could've," a contraction of "could have."

    "should of" is really "should've," a contraction of "should have."

    Who wants to explain "there/they're/their?"

    I totally understand that and I still mess it up from time to time and have to correct my posts.

    No time to proof read though. ;)

    Scb, are you introducing another one? ...y'all?!
    hehe, you're not originally from the deep south, are you?! ;)

    and PS -- we might as well throw in to/too

    Props to y'all that are not native in English as well, these can get confusing I'm sure.

    Just for argument's sake, why is grammar so important? I never understood why the slightest misspelling or use of imperfect grammar sends some into a tailspin. I'm newly left-handed so I bet I have plenty of errors much of the time. I'd hope that it wouldn't be an issue. But I've never had a problem with lack of perfect grammar from anyone, as long as whatever someone writes is basically legible. ;)

    Surely we can set our standards a little higher, I mean, is it so wrong to at least attempt to appear educated?

    For the record (while I'm on the topic): The proper usage is "a lot", "alot" is not a word. And Godfather, it's "does" not "dose"; I keep thinking about acid when I read your posts.

    Perhaps, but I type really fast, therefore there is no pause. :)

    Affect with an "A" = 'A'ction/verb. That's how I remember. Not looking it up either. Hope I'm not wrong...

    Haha... don't knock the y'all now! (I know everyone in the South spells it ya'll, but since it's a contraction for you all, I changed my spelling several years ago.) Actually, I am originally from the South, but more the Mid-South (Arkansas, Texas, & Tennessee) than the Deep South - though I do have plenty of cousins in Mississippi, Louisiana, & Florida! :D

    And I wholeheartedly agree with the props to the non-native-English-speakers! I'm immeasurably impressed by them! :thumbup:
