People knew the word have followed could, would, should, and might? Seems like that was only a year or two ago, then everyone starting saying "of" instead.
contractions ruined that...
could've, should've, would've...I think then people just assumed the "ve" was "of"
My daughter's 7th grade English teacher does not permit the use of contractions.
Though, I suppose it sets them up for using proper grammar. I remember learning them in 3rd grade...or about then. Now I'm going to be looking out for them in books and articles.
Yeah, but it also might set them up to not know how to use apostrophes? The school should be teaching it all.

I agree. When we were in school, they taught us that contractions were a form of informal writing; as among friends, and that it was not proper to write them in formal documents, etc. We were taught the difference.
Dancing to records, and we had to be careful when doing our "Aires above ground" -totally a horse term, but I'm borrowing it, because it closest resembles MY klutzy butt trying to be graceful- or we'd cause the record to skip!
When hockey or baseball cards had that dry stick of gum.
When we had no awareness for the quality of food and chose the stuff that tasted good.
Damn, that brings back memories. The gum always had a weird powdery finish, too.
You were a collector?
I remember collecting Star Wars as well as Planet of the Apes cards too.
Not a collector, but I do remember buying the baseball card packs with that awful gum. I'd get them at Rexall Drugs, after moseying around their make-up department.
Strawberry-scented roll-on lip gloss, anyone? God, I loved that stuff.

when, working in the restaurant business, I had to show up on Thursday even if i wasn't working that day to pick up my cheque.
And freaking out when the phone rang on your off day. Was it your weed guy, your friends or the manager telling you someone called in so they need you.. the phone was a total crap shoot
got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
I want to go but I want to go with you.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT
I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

We would just go and find our own rocks and paint them. It was free, although we would steal rocks from people's rock beds in their yards, soooo...

My buddies used to get pissed off trying to call me on the weekends before we headed out- there was no call alert back then... only the busy signal.
"At the tone, the time will be....."
And you called it just to know the time.
Anyone else remember the '80s TV show and toy line called "The Get-Along Gang"?
Generic products were just black and white with a giant barcode. There was an entire aisle devoted to just generic products.
