jhe888Let's say you see a guy working. What is your first impulse?
Of course, I would let you work. But maybe when I become a geezer I will change.

Yeah, but then elementary school teachers will stop to correct your grammar.

slosigQ: “Let’s say you see a guy working. What is your first impulse?”
A: Depends on the work. Usually involves thinking either way. Sometimes the thought is, “That looks interesting. I’d like to learn about that.” Sometimes it’s, “That poor bugger, that doesn’t look like fun at all.” In any case, it is rarely, if not never, to interrupt.

Grammar, or spelling and punctuation?

Grammar is defined as the whole system and structure of language.

Ryanp225I wear earbuds when doing yard work in the front. If someone tries to engage in more than a smile or nod I just point at them and do the "what can ya do?" head shake and go back to minding my own fucking business.
