Not me, and I am a word/grammar geek myself.<br /><br />Groundation is hilarious. I hate it when people try to sound intelligent by adding too many words to a sentence. Often, this begins by starting sentences with the extraneous phrase "I feel that" Ex. I feel that his groundation did not work and therefore, to which, I conversated to himself that I would take away his allowance.essbeseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745117719761568320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5925661918941360037.post-52154734353264164902010-01-04T20:38:01.819-05:002010-01-04T20:38:01.819-05:00Just reading this title made me laugh out loud, be...Just reading this title made me laugh out loud, because I knew where you were going with this post.
