Letter Of The Day

There have been several articles in the paper recently about how to bring about giving our children a better education. I can clearly see that for several years now, something is lacking in the way subjects are taught.

I only had an eighth-grade education until later on in years when I decided to further my education. But even with my eighth-grade schooling, I knew the difference between: loose and lose, their and they’re, stripped and striped, flower and flour, clothes and cloths and other commonly used words.

These misspelled words are in the Globe Gazette, on billboards and even in published books.

I have never heard of a stripped cat, Globe Gazette, but I do own a beautiful striped cat.
