This is my first attempt at writing a blog.  I wanted a place to express my frustrations with the seeming degredation of the English language.  Every day, I hear people misuse words and sentence structures.  Signs with grammatical or punctuation errors make me cringe!  I certainly do not claim to have perfect grammar, but my mother drilled it into me throughout my schooling. (Thank you, Mom!)  Because of her, I love grammar and spelling!  So, here are my thoughts on the subject.
