I am still the family dictionary, proof reader and speller to this day, although now I embrace that title.

As an English major in college, proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. There has been a great "dumbing down" of the English language in recent years. We see it in the newspapers, and t.v. ads, and hear it on the radio. <br /><br />Thanks for a timely Saturday Centus!!
