August,

>>But how do you let people know they are makin' the same grammatical error time and time again.

I have learned that it's best not to correct anyone's grammar or spelling unless that person asks for it. My own rule (for me, that is) is that anyone who posts on this thread is asking for correction, so I cheerfully correct the mistakes if I find any, and I expect mine to be so corrected as well.

Speaking of combinations, all right is now seldom seen and is replaced by alright which, at least in my teaching is less desirable if not outright incorrect. All right?

Jack
