I caught that. I'm assuming it was intentional of course. Or is that of coarse?

Do you mind if I engage in a little plagiarism? I may have use for it.

Right! Tape my fingers together so I can't type. If I were to get started on that, I'd most likely get banned from here.

Well, I'm wondering now why I bothered to study English grammar and usage, since no one uses it anymore.

I'm not sure if I'm guilty of using poor grammar or modified grammar. At one time I was a stickler for the use of precise grammar and punctuation. The first indication that I was in decline was my tendency to end sentences with prepositions and not caring that I did so. Now I've developed the habit of writing in incomplete sentences. One I used today was, "And children." I could have written, "this also includes children," but tell me, don't both carry the same meaning? Which is more succinct, to the point, and although grammatically incorrect, is, nevertheless more pleasing to the senses? I'll stick with my occasional non-sentence. If you care to redline me when you see it, feel free. I, however, have cast off the strictures of structured prose and let my writing reflect more closely my thought.

Several times I've skimmed through something I've typed, and I've not noticed the mistakes. I knew what I had intended to type, so that's what I saw.
