That sort of attitude disgusts me.

Once I had this person on my friends list. She was going to have a baby. Anyway, she changed doctors. When her friends asked why, she said, and I'll never forget this: "Because that doctor has HIV! I'm not exposing my baby to AIDS!!!"

Long story short, I cut her from my list faster that you can say "uneducated".

I heard something on NPR months ago, about a gay cant, but it wasn't Spannish. Are gays now using Spannish to communicate subvertly with each other?

I thought the issue with Spongebob Squarepants and Seseme Street is a supposed norming of homosexuality. Polari is a cant developed in order to allow homosexuals to communicate with each other. If the issues of teaching Spannish and normalizing homosexuality are related, then it may be due to the use of Spannish as a covert language among homosexuals.

I do things by the rules if I'm not sure.

The rule is in a two-sylable word, short vowels are followed by a double letter. E,g, "latter" vs" "later." I'm guessing from context that "Spanish" is correct.

You know I can't spell.

Ah, I'll commit that rule to memory.

I think using Microsoft Word has helped me improve my spelling. It used to be absolutely horid. Sometimes I have blank-out moments where I question everything, though. Usually it involves sufixes. -ible vs. -able, -ey vs -y, etc.

I just recalled

It's called Polati. As far as I remember, Polati has never been a part of Sesame Street.
