Nice example of proper speaking and grammar from a "student-athlete" attending an institution of higher learning in our country.
Juulie, you have been on a grammar and speaking soapbox of late... care to comment on this gem?!

I promised I wouldn't! ...comment, I mean.
Besides, I don't feel it's worth getting in a snit about the 85 or 90 percent of people who don't understand or care about proper English. I feel sad sometimes, when it appears that the slang just isn't getting the job done, but otherwise, I've got bigger things to get my shorts in a wad about (like my own English!). I only went off on Packer because somebody said I couldn't. That always gets my dander up.
