I'm going to miss that guy. He really is a special dog. But, a wonderful couple met him and took him home today and that's why we do what we do. I shed a few tears when he went away, but it's a good thing.
I GOT SCOLDED!
Someone who read my blog recognized where the horrid grammar emails came from and sent me an email suggesting that I just didn't realize where they came from, and I might hurt someones feelings. Well, of course I know where they came from. And frankly I don't think that the culprits would ever read my blog, because they obviously don't spend a lot of time with written English. But, I deleted that part of the post and I left that email list. I decided that I would not be able to refrain from making fun of someone who writes "pasted" for "passed" or "felted" for "felt", doesn't know the difference between "threw" and "through", and is just basically a moron.
But honestly, I believe that there should be some sort of consequence for mangling the language. People who can't formulate a correct sentence shouldn't be able to get a job that pays more than minimum wage. There's really no excuse for a native speaker to not know how to write correctly. If all I can do is publicly ridicule them, well, why should I feel sorry for them if their feelings are hurt? Maybe it would make them attempt to learn something. I know, I'm dreaming. I will never again make fun of an email. Unless when I go back to work I get horrendous emails from business people. Channel 10 is still fair game though.
