i probably should have come out with this earlier in my blogging but i didn't. this should come as no surprise to my loyal readers (or to anyone who has ever read anything that i have ever written). i don't know the difference between THEN and THAN. like, not at all. it doesn't matter how many times you explain YOUR rational reasoning, or point out various tricks that you promise will work. they won't. the truth is (as you probably know) THEN and THAN is only the tip of the iceberg...hello: THERE and THEIR and THEY'RE and YOUR and YOU'RE...i could go on.
i'm embarrassed by my situation but it's simply the way it is. i don't judge you for judging me...if i could fix it i would be i was set up for this at a very young age.
i was sent to a laboratory elementary school. that's right - while you were learning grammar, spelling and arithmetic, i learned how to be a good friend, how to make a warm fuzzy and an awful lot about the hopi indians. while you did multiplication tables, i mined for gold in the redwood forest. while you practiced writing cursive, i held my arm in ice water as long as possible. while you had second grade, i had one of two speaking parts in the play puss and boots (that's right, we spent ALL of second grade working on the play - ALL - and while i was one of the narrators, the rest of the cast DIDN'T SPEAK ALL YEAR - ask my TALL friend to tell you all about her starring role as a fish - oy). so all in all, considering where i came from - i think i've done pretty well for myself.
in closing, these errors will continue. it's simply my natural way. i hope that you keep reading in spite of the issues - its part of who i am. if you want to point out my missteps in the comments section, i'm happy to make the changes. and thank you for understanding.
stay tuned for future posts about hopi indians and the california gold rush.
