Well, I finally get a chance, after grandkids left, to start to read this…and gave up. I will continue to speak the English I learned at my (English.Prof) mother’s knee, and will continue to type poorly that should not be seen s reflection of my mother’s schooling.
If the kids don’t understand me and I don’t understand them, I suspect we will both survive. They will get fed and clothed and housed. They will miss my scintillating conversation and/or commentary on the ways of the world, but not really miss it.
