Me: "Sure, I have rabbits "in-breading," about once a week. They're excellent with thai chili sauce."

Guilty party here..... after reading this, I am horribly embarrassed.. my spelling is pretty horrible, so I did try and look up the proper spelling for "bred" but kept getting bread... so figured it must be correct.... Now I'm wishing someone had told me I had "spinach in my teeth".... UUugugggg!
:yeahthat:MaggieJ":buxavkn1 said:I blame the Ontario Ministry of Education. Along about 30-35 years ago they cut formal grammar and spelling from the primary school curriculum, believing that "personal expression" suffered if children were forced to learn the basics. Teachers could only supply "bandaid treatment" - on the spot correction. (The terms I have used may not be the PC terms used at the time . . . It was a long time ago.) But what a disaster! How can personal expression thrive if you are making bricks without straw?
So, Tricia, don't feel embarrassed. Blame the government and their infinite "wisdom". :grit:

Actually, my own generation was the one where they experimentally removed phonics from the curriculum. Instead they tried to get us to memorize how to spell every word in the English language.
Needless to say, that didn't work either. :lol:
