Tina G Posted December 28, 2007 #9 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I think it depends on the situation. My DH can be dear, darling, dumb, dopey, or occasionally that word used by Clark Gable in Gone with the Wind.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leavitt1 Posted December 28, 2007 #18 Share Posted December 28, 2007 It's the ruination of the English language! Some one had the audacity last week to say its accepted [we know not where] to use your in place of you're. IMHO its laziness!!!! (J/K) Ooh! That is so NOT accepted! :eek: I spend so much time trying to teach my students the proper way to write, but when they see it wrong all the time, I often think it's a losing battle. The biggest fight is with them trying to use "&" instead of "and" in their formal essays. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
