Pat, I fully mean to be petty here, so don't even ask...

I have to know: Is English your first language? I've noticed from your meanderings that: a) You can't seem to get your head around basic contractions kids are expected to learn by Grade 4 or so. Would'nt, could'nt, etc. Those are wrong; please look them up in your dictionary. b) Possessives totally mess you up. Its or it's? You never learned this, for some reason. c) And this most recent message of yours indicates you're unsure of how to form a plural out of a noun. Speech's???? You've got to be kidding.

How can you expect to convince others that your point of view is worthwhile when you're unable to grasp the basics of the language? No wonder you're sold on Palin... You're an idiot. Why don't you know this stuff? Why don't you learn it? I mean, sheesh...
