Rox, I understand how you feel! I come from an editing/proofreading background. When I taught English in LA mid-city schools, they taught me a different language...in deed! How can you teach kids in high school how to diagram sentences, and convince them you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition when the majority think that *at* is a noun! The objective case also seems to rule!

Where's his ball at?
What ya looking at?
Who ya going with?
Me and Rox know the truth!

Hey, not only ghetto kids make the above mistakes.
