What’s the point in learning the parts of a sentence or how to spell words.

Social media and it’s shortcuts have destroyed communication.

impact is not a verb. there’s no such word as “alright.” it’s “lose,” not “loose.” etc., etc.

Watch Between the Lions and Schoolhouse Rock.

And the difference between ‘further’ and ‘farther’…

There’s a low-budget sci-fi channel out there with the catch phrase You know their out there.’ I want to throw a dictionary at the screen whenever that pops up.

There’s one poster on Comics Kingdom who always mentions people wearing “cloths”. Technically they are, but we normally call them “clothes.”

there is a point to learning to read and write, Bear, and you just pointed yourself to it!

Grammar lessons from talking Bear. : )

Sadly Bear has a good point…..same with handwriting. I suppose we are evolving into a world where everyone will start communicating in computer code. Sad.

And what about there, their, and they’re. Or to, two and too.

Bear is more literate than most humans I know.
