I remember coming home on the train one night when I was a undergrad reading a report I was typing up and some old lady sitiing next to me just turned to me out of the blue and said "there's no such thing as 'definitions' only 'definition'" :help.

Btw if you want some more useless trivia, there's 8 different ways in English to pronounce "ough".

That's probably because he got the main words right: e.g the, and, can, you, it, at, are, and the most important one "a" - mis-spell those and I am stufefd ;)

I always told my english teacher at school that learning to spell was a waste of time and not needed after school

LMAO !!!!!!!!!

and I was right!!! Wish I knew where the old bat was these days I'd send her out of the class room instead with everyone laughing in Hysterics.

;D

:rollin And what’s wrong with starting a sentence with and? And even ending it with and? ;D I do all the time. :P And too bad if it’s not good English. And if that lady on the train wanted to query it, I’d just go And … :rollin
