GAYLEM, What part of Memphis are you from ?
GayleM posted:@JUTU Cuz I’m literally the new kid on the block, coming here from Memphis. And major spelling and grammatical errors annoy me, so I send corrections to media all the time. They distract from the writer’s credibility and message. And the conversation was becoming so inane & mean I just had to throw that out there. You’re welcome.
Well I escaped Memphis to Colbert county and now reside in Fairhope Al. One thing I can tell you is no body likes the grammar police! This is not english class, it is free form communication.
Maybe Jack could start at the source.
Looks like another liberal Dimo licker, half Chow to boot.
I’m originally a Yankee from Ohio, but have lived in East Memphis for 30 years. I have a small place in downtown Memphis now, but I’m not there much. I like Waterloo a lot better.
Related to the original post, did you see that “some dude” became a copycat licker?

Now Bluebell will probably have to completely revamp their packaging process, for no small fee I’m sure.
I emailed a writer for the Daily Memphian this AM about a typo. He wrote me back, said, “Thanks,” and fixed it… There something about being an educator and occasional science writer; I just can’t help it. I had a great secretary years ago who taught me more about writing than I ever learned in school. She used to mark up my manuscripts with lots of red ink. She taught me a lot about written communication.

The Tri-Cities part.
She must live close to Jack.
