Terrified, penni rushes to her earlier post. She vaguely remembers using the word "however" and wonders if Paul has labelled her a permanent dumbass with a third grade education. Thank God! There's the required period followed by a new sentence. Stilling her trembling hands and taking a deep breath, she returns to his post and hits the respond button.... Yes, Paul. I absolutely agree! You are so right! I find that inexcusable and very aggravating! Smiling smugly, she hits "enter".

Yes Paul: We should all try to be more tolerant. I have taught my children to remember the words on the first page of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby: "Whenever you feel like criticizing someone...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." I'm not necessarily referring to financial advantages, although that may surely play a part. Many of us were raised without the modern disadvantages of television, schools without discipline, etc. We read for pleasure because there wasn't any TV. Schools made us read and write. In my public high school, I had Latin, French, English at a higher level that many kids now get even in private or parochial schools. It really makes me angry, too, to see terrible English mistakes in our newspapers and on TV. Jack
