I understand completely! My Mom used to teach English as well. I can be a total prick about grammar sometimes, but then I turn around and make grammatical errors in my posts at times, so I can't really talk.

I feel exactly the same way you do. I feel compelled to point out that W manipulated the situation, but I love what Stevie does because, as you said, those soldiers are doing what they're told to do, no matter what. And I think it takes a lot of courage.

Strand, you're too precious and have fun on your trip.
OK, now I'll be a REAL priss Strandie...
There's no such word as ALRIGHT.
Believe it, it's true.
It should ALWAYS be all right.
Again I totally DON'T live in a glass house, but sometimes I wish I did...in the latest Architectural Digest there's some GORGEOUS pix of some
But then again, we all know that our LaNicks speaks/writes in her own "language", the Queen of Poetic License.
All right!

Main Entry: al·right
Pronunciation: (")ol-'rIt, 'ol-"
Function: adverb or adjective
: ALL RIGHT
usage The one-word spelling alright appeared some 75 years after all right itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted alright is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users. It is less frequent than all right but remains in common use especially in journalistic and business publications. It is quite common in fictional dialogue, and is used occasionally in other writing .
