Sorry, my first boss in high school used to throw that one at me all the time.
When he was in high school, one of my friends was called into the boss's office one day, and he was told, "I has ta leaves yiz go". Since this did not sound anything like the English that was spoken in my friend's home, he honestly had no idea of what his boss meant with those cryptic words, and he showed up for work the next day.
Sure enough, his boss shouted at him, "Din't I tell ya that I has ta leaves yiz go?", and at that point, my friend connected the dots sufficiently to figure out that he had been fired.
Like me, I'm sure that many of you have observed the proliferation of small commercial advertising signs posted on the ground at busy intersections. I am referring to the ones that are supported by thin metal shafts that are placed in the soil.
Yesterday, while waiting for a traffic light, I spotted one of these signs, advertising a "Limosine" service.
I used to jokingly tell my students that they couldn't attend a college if they couldn't spell its name correctly, and that they couldn't enter a profession if they couldn't spell its title correctly. Similarly, I don't want to ride in a vehicle provided by a transportation company that can't spell the word, "limousine", correctly.

From another subforum, a thread entitled, "Do people still burn their mortgages?" Not one person replying to the thread mentions the absurdity of this question.
Get a think called a book. Keep it on the shelf. You can't go through life pretending you understand a simple word when you don't...it's easy - it's a thing called a dictionary...also when a person does not spell a word properly they usually always know there is something amiss..but they are to lazy to open that old fashioned thing called a book. It shows a lazy disrespect for the reader of the message.
Irony, thy name is Oleg.
