Subject: BS: except/accept- insure/ensure,,,etc.
Yes, I'm feeling grumpy tonight...maybe because of health care debate...

But, c'mon folks! TRY to learn the difference between these terms and use them correctly.. 95% of TV personalities very clearly say 'insure' when they mean 'ensure'. And maybe 74.058% of those who type 'except' meant 'accept'.

Spelling? I'd better not start. At least some of that can be attributed to dyslexia or poor coordination....but c'mon...it's "Christian" not "Christain" and "lesbian" not "lesbain"...etc...

Ok...I'll go to bed now...others may add favorite examples...or throw virtual tomatoes at me.
