Rode, rode, rode!!!
It seems like some roadies are so infatuated by the word road that they can't get the past tense of ride correctly. I have seen 4 posts in the last 24 hours where people "road" something. I think I'm going to have to call the street a "rode" every time I post from now on to counter what you guys are doing here.
Yeah, I have nothing better to do than rant about people's grammatical mistakes. I'm at home tending to a very sick wife instead of riding, so I have plenty of time to make posts in between preparing food and spraying everything with Lysol.

Amen, but at least it's not texting style writing, or whatever it's called.

It goes beyond grammar - the education system is failing us. Too often you can ask for 3/4 of a pound of something in the deli department and get a blank stare, or hand over $1.09 for a 79˘ item, and the cashier is stumped unless the cash register does the math.

I second that, while I do not know grammar this annoys me. I like to get quarters back instead of just random change, so when I hand the cashier a $1.04 for a $.79 item and she tells me a dollar covers it and I have to emphasize I just want a quarter back. Oh well someone has to work at Wal-Mart.
