Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.
Roflganger:
Heh, I don't have a legal version either ;) I are pirate cat. If I get around to getting a retail version, though, I'll let you know.
And labratory is better to my Yankee ears than "labore-a-tree" (don't even get me started on the way "innovative" is pronounced here). But differences in pronunciation aside, yes, the general level of grammar in this country is atrocious. I know of English teachers and school principals whose grasp of the language could make you cry. And they're teaching the next generation!

My English teacher in Grade 10 tried to teach us "would of". Go ahead, it's okay. You can cry.

I would, but I am out of tissues.
Jelenedra:
Is "labratory" a southern thing? That's how I hear it here. (Yes, including me. I always that it was a schedule/SHED-JU-EL thing)
rufio:
I've always heard "labratory" and I've never lived in the south. La-bor-a-tory sounds funny and British to me. It's the same thing that happens with op(e)ra.
