Anyways - There should be no 's' at the end of this word. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but for some reason it does. "Towards" doesn't bother me quite as much, perhaps because I don't hear it as often.

.....what about "towels"? does this bother you?

Tell me about grammer. Forget grammer. We need better words in English, also, more words.

I invented a word that I am sure will become widely circulated someday.

grubnuf - Havn't figured out what it means yet, but I think it is something important.

irrespective - It means "dis-regarding the state of something. i.e Irrespective of whatever you may think, I am going to rule the world someday."

I don't care about grammer. Nor do I think much about punctuation.
When is the last time you stoped in mid-thought and said to yourself "Oops, a run-on sentence...must include a semi-colon somewhere or I won't be able to understand this thought."

English is about communication of information. French is about poetry. I see way to many of the culteral elite using wonderfully colourful phrases that are completely void of an useful information. If you don't know what to say, shut up.

And maybe schools should start letting kids read actual books for once, instead of supposed "classics". King, Asimov, Steele, perhaps a good maintenance manual once in awhile.
