Subject: RE: BS: Declining Standards of English
as anybody who has tried to get a gig on the English folkscene knows, ones life force is pretty bloody limited.

as an essay in communication the yahoo headline was entirely understandable.

the perils of pretending I don't understand things because I know too much about spelling - bold adventurer that I am, I will risk!
