As more time goes on and more dependency is given to things like spell check, etc. any semblance of proof reading will continue to fade away. Between that and having cursive no longer taught, people will have to believe only what some object tells them.The pedant in me would point out that it's "avant-garde."

At my school they were called portable classrooms, or 'PCs' for short.Anyone else have classes in the trailers?
As yes- they were called the “Relocatables” although I don’t think they ever moved!
I know and saw the humor in that as well. I did throw my keyboard across the room but other than that I wasn't the least bit upset.It's fine - I was just goofin' on ya. I am actually not typically a grammar enforcement officer, but since your post was specifically about that....![]()
A few days ago I was behind a lady at checkout. She had a shopping cart literally overflowing with school supplies. Paper, glue, pencils and pens, rulers, folders and even somethings I didn't recognize as normal school supplies. I thought I was trying to be supportive, thinking she was a teacher and was stocking up on things that she might need through the school year that the schools don't supply anymore and simply asked if she was a teacher. She said no, I'm just buying supplies for my kid. Not kids, just kid!
I get you. For Christmas one year I got a new bead for my abacus.A few days ago I was behind a lady at checkout. She had a shopping cart literally overflowing with school supplies.

I was amazed because when I was a kid, school supplies consisted of a Paper Mate pen, 4 pencils, a package of lined, three ring binder paper, the binder and a new pair of shoes. Yes, I know I'm older then dirt but a cart full of the stuff seems excessive.
