Bravo! I was the first to reply to SASSYBABE and I wasn't sure whether she/he was for real or not...I reviewed her/his posting wherein she's offended at the replys that she received which insulted her poor grammar. I honestly didn't know whether it was for real or not. I wonder why she/he posted it to begin with in the manner in which she/he did. Obviously, you can only take these postings at face value. Emotion and tone of voice cannot be determined from simple writing. As for her comments that all of those who responded are either 40-50, no, I am not. I am 32 and I do not have a college education, however, I do have the general grasp of the english language and proper grammar...sorry to disappoint. An english question for the english teacher: when do you use bad versus badly, as in, "I felt bad(ly) about it." ???
