From the NJ Forum, another commentary on education:
"If the teacher done that to me and my parents heard about this. They would have me grounded for sure and apologize to the teacher for my miss behave."
So...apparently his teacher's name was Miss Behave?
I think that Miss Behave should have been fired for not teaching him about grammar, spelling, and sentence construction.
I started to try to explain this before, and gave up, but I'll post it now and hope you know what I'm saying:
I knew someone who would ask "Are you being have?", but with the "have" rhyming with "wave". I'll spell this non-word as "haive".
At first when she asked, "Are you being haive", I thought she was being funny. But her face was serious and I knew her well enough that I could tell she meant it, and I had a hard time not cracking up right in front of her. I figured out that she understood the word "behave" as "be haive", with "haive" meaning "good". That was about 18 years ago and I still LOL sometimes when I think about it.

That's a good one. It actually makes sense, in a way.
If you're a kid and your mom keeps saying "behave!" when you're acting up, you could conclude that 'have' means 'good', as in "be good!".
So many people just don't read anymore; it's a shame. Reading is one of my passions!
(ever since I could read the Dick and Jane books, LOL)
Now, that's interesting. If Voilà! is originally French, you would think that ever since the language (English) became Anglo-Saxon (back in 1066 CE or so), it would be unnecessary to further adapt any words in French.
And why would the former colonies take it upon themselves to tinker with the mother language? Food for thought.
Ah but the French continued to enter. Did you know that the words "etiquette" and "ticket" came from the same French word but entered the English language centuries apart?
Stay tuned. I might have hit a gold mine.
So far. "The Community is growing tired of the Heroine flowing in the streets... " ( A good visualization , this one)
"Those that "Stereo-Type" this issue to all...." (Computer with the twin speakers on?)
" think ill have to woop out my baking pans and flower show ya some stuffs.,."
