And, yes, he was paid a higher salary than many of the teachers...

"apposed" , ?????

Fixed it for you... I do not know how to insert a strike through. Anyone know that forum code?

Grammar bothers me much more than spelling. Spelling is an easily learned skill, whereas most of us should have had at least 12 years of English class.

And from the bridal-shower rant:

"I hate all these rituals with a deep-seeded passion."

I'm thinking that people have heard these expressions but not seen them in writing?

I understand that, but that wasn't to what I was referring. Did you hear this or did you see it written?

Written. I mentioned the "bridal shower rant" -- I guess I should have specified that it was a thread on these forums. Sorry -- I can see how that could have been misinterpreted.
