The Agony of Poor Spelling

[Birdland]

I suppose I could live with "I suppose", but I'd never have guessed that "I guess" would be deemed to be such a vulgar phrase.

I'm afraid that it's quite beyond the pale in polite society, old thing. In some circles one could be thought simply barbaric for using so presidential an expression. - Squatter

Shoot! And I thought if I avoided wearing Burmuda shorts with matching belt and shoes, and the T-shirt with advertising on it, I could "blend."

Oh well, if I'm going to speak like a barbarian, I may as well act like one as well. Where's my bowie knife and raccoon cap? Look out England! I'm crossin' the pond!
