I sometimes wonder how we manage to get through life sometimes Muddy, don't you? Our priorities are hopelessly out of synch.

Re: People Are Dropping The Definite Article (the) More and More.

Personally I find it far more worrying the way spell checkers are taking over! They all need to go back to school and learn how to spell, sometimes it's appalling to see how many words are incorrectly used!

These errors are easy enough to identify, they appear so often they are easily recognised, therefore I know that more often than not it's the fault of spell checkers.

Don't even get me started on the humble apostrophe, that too has rather a bad time these days.

Examples of use, "More funding is needed for the NHS". Only after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour did the USA join the war.

Oh, you mean like, the Gravitas is online tonight?
