Some folks can pick more nits than father and son spider monkeys being interviewed on NatGeo... 
Speaking of spelling, have you ever watched the finals of the "National Spelling Bee" on ESPN? Those kids are truly amazing.

One of my kids went to the state geography bee. That was something. She lasted a few rounds. Kid that won went on to national. That kid was from a home school family that my wife knows. They've had two kids qualify for the national spelling bee and one for the national geography bee two or three times! Crazy smart kids with crazy smart parents (mostly mom). Nicest kids you'd ever meet. :thumbsup: They home schooled because they had a whole herd of kids, didn't trust public schools and thought they could do a better job.... they did.![]()
Congratulations to your daughter for making it that far.
I noticed that many of the spelling bee finalists were home schooled, and that second-generation Indians excelled.

The PROPER expression is: ACCCCCCKKKKKKK !!!!!
Actually it is ACK. If your shouting. And Ack, if you are choking.![]()
Was this mistake intentional to give us "Grammar Nazis" something to do?
Time to exit, stage left...and in the words of Mickey Spillane, when folks get to arguing over grammar and verb usage, I get out quick!
