    Maybe he assumes that you already know that he loves God, his mother and his wife.

    Too bad we don't know that he loves God, his mother, and/or his wife.

    True. I get tired of all the play on words with the stupid intentional "misspellings". It's popular now with the names of artists and songs, but to me, it's just plain annoying.

    I meant to end with "the article"

  • August 18, 2010 - 1:30pm Nikki01

    @ Angie, apparently the article writer and editor can't spell either since they are the ones who printed

    One thing I do know about him: he can't spell.
