Good Lord, Xelrog, I was so tired the other day I didn't even understand what you were getting at. I thought it was some issue with the phrasing, not the spelling.

I was talking with an english teacher friend of mine after I glanced at a story one of her students wrote. We got to talking about the majors issues with young writers. She says they don't teach writing in school anymore. Kids don't know how to punctuate dialogue because nobody teaches them how. It's sad.

The other problem is that kids don't read, so they have nothing to model off of.
