If I woulda knowed you was leaving, I woulda come and saw you off.

Why are rules so important in spelling and grammar? Because without them we would have chaos.Sometimes I have to read a sentence over two or three times to understand what someone is trying to say. Example.. "it is legal" now, one small change.."Is it legal?" Language was invented so we could communicate. If we dont follow the rules, we dont communicate. I know 'spaw was only kidding with that Cletus bit, but, I was always unable to fathom what he was saying because of the suspension of accepted rules of spelling and grammar. Consequently, I skipped over those posts. (Sorry 'spaw, guess I'm just not bright enough to translate that stuff.)
