Nobody gets "beat." They are beaten.

And it's not "deja vu all over again." That's a Yogi Berra redundancy. It's simply deja vu.

It's not "Where are you at? It's "where are you?"

"We beat them bad" should be "We beat them badly."

It's not "I hate McCown the player" it's "I hope he does well, but he won't because he has always sucked and can never improve".

An Aggie is walking across a college campus, he bumps into an English professor and he asks him..."Hey teach, where's the library at?. The Prof looks at him and says, "Young man, don't you know not to end a sentence with a preposition?...The Aggie looks at him and says, "Where's the library at, a**hole?"

I don't know whether to be offended or not. Is his a Cal Aggie or a Texas Aggie?

Yes some things are beaten. When I would ask my mother where something was at she would reply behind the at. Glad you are on the literacy kick Skorp. We all need a little education. Aint that right?

Is proper english and grammar a big thing in Arizona?

I can't believe a how much some football fans are anal about grammar and such.

This is a message board. Not a college English class. I really don't care about my spelling or grammar while writing on this thing, and boy does it show.

The point of this board is to make a point.................hmmm, I fail at doing that also.


Oh well.

The point is leave your english books at home.
