Maybe you're right Zig. There's plenty of good old wisdom out there that tells us watching how someone deals with a mistake is the surest window to their character. If nothing else we will get plenty of peeks into those windows.

Peggy - good catch on bely - belie...Now tell me, did ya have to look that one up? Who has better grammar? Republicans or Democrats? Northerners or Southerners? Conservatives or Liberals?
I love it when two females make up - they are so adorable in so many ways.
Peace and Love
I vote down with proper grammar on the boards! I vote NO to spelling well on the boards!
I do vote YES to free flow, pointed discussion outlining our political differences sans mano e mano tactics.
Better Grammar - I won't win --- but I'll vote for myself anyway - Independent, Southern born & bred, Fiscally Conservative, Socially Liberal --- and mad as hell that there isn't a party to represent me
Don't make me throw up my good Pinot Ziggy! That is not making up, not even detente, just trying to be courteous to others on the forum. Do you remember Shirley Maclaine's line in Steel Magnolias? "I'm not crazy, I've just been in an extremely bad mood for 40 years." Well, that's me brother. My buttons are all pushed.

Didn't have to look it up catwoman. I knew it was wrong but I don't normally point out others mistakes, nor do I go looking for them. I like to think I have more class than that. But if someone else wants to play that game, I will, cause I've been around long enough, and seen enough pi**ing contest to know they will lose. Living 50+ years does have it's advantages.Originally Posted by Catwoman
I've also lived long enough to know if someone resorts to correcting grammar and spelling, then they lost the argument already.
I really wouldn't say one group or another had better grammar. Education has a lot to do with it and any group can have idiots as well as brilliance. Local also has a big play in it. What is brilliant knowledge in one place could be useless trivia in another. I'm sure you have a definitive answer on this but I'm not going to bite. I am instead going to wander out to my dock on this most beautiful evening and feed my fish, while contemplating the merits of salt on a margarita.
Carry on.
I said a few months ago that the only thing that could stop Romney was Rick Perry. Bachmann is not, nor has ever been, a serious threat to Romney.
But after a couple days on the campaign trail I don't see how he holds up against Romney. He's trying to manage the crazy/serious balance but it ain't easy. Maybe he'll get better.

Seriously??
Lucky you! Buttons that get pushed are the fastest opening to self-insight in my book. I for sure know when I am in deep reactivity that there's something deeper than just the present issue going on. Thank goodness my sis is a therapist and had completely different buttons than I do - we can always call the other one for a good ol' deep down b*tch session, get it all out, then get to the root of what's really triggering us. It's very cathartic.
PS - what's Pinot Ziggy? Sounds like some kinda Grateful Dead vintage. ;~]
+1 from a guy who obviously doesn't spend a lot of time studying intimate details of the English language. And mtnlaural, when you find that party you let me know because our qualifications to join are nearly identical!
Peggy - yes to salt.
