susandennisOk, I can handle poor grammar in conversation but national news people really should be setting an example. I just heard on CBS Evening News that less people are flying this summer. Now, I'm guessing that the people have not lost weight.
The other two that make my teeth hurt are: incorrect pronouns as in 'she gave it to Bob and I' and not using the posseive with a gerund as in 'i'm jealous of him winning.'
Someone told me not long ago that this intolerance of poor grammar was a factor of my age - in other words, I was being an old fuddy duddy and rules change. These rules haven't changed and anyway I can live with my being an old fuddy duddy.
