I’m with you on this one.
Forty years of liberals running our educational system has produced idiots.
This is similar to their incompetence in using “Lose” and “Loose,” which drives me batty.

Its just that these thins should’nt be that dificult. Grammar is it’s own thing, and isn’t so hard. Stacy should of known the diffrence.
Silicon breast implants? That’s gotta hurt .
