ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL

Dear Editor,Fascinating grammar/spelling the other night on the second evening of the NBC movie 10.5. The movie was bad enough ... 30 minutes of action crammed into four hours of viewing.
What really caught my attention was the writing. Yes, the plot was wretched, the emoting was pathetic. Yet there was something even more glaring in this age of butchering the English language.
I pine for the days of correct English when "you know" and "like" didn't crop up as every other word!
