Blessings2You,

I really wanted to type out Blessings TO You, but took note of the spelling of your choice of name to post under. I've posted to you before and have come close to it with B2Y!! I cannot count the number of times I have had to go back to a poster's name and type it out as they do, I always reach for the correct sounding proper spelling first.

My mother was a stickler for correct spelling and language. To this day, I am aware of every time I use slang and how to correctly spell out the stupid slang!

As you may remember, a few years ago there was a movement to recognize Ebonics as a separate whole English language. At the time, I was planning on becoming an English teacher. I literally gave up that path due to that decision by the Oakland CA school district.

I edit almost every post, because whether I check it before or not, I always find a spelling error or a punctuation mark out of place when it shows. I just got a spellchecker and I used it for the first time tonight. It said "Blessings" was spelled incorrectly. I deleted it.

You are not alone!
