Sorry ...

Sorry. For some reason, I just got silly.

Also, my high school English teacher, Mr. Baumgartner, taught us about alliteration. If you had substituted "Could" in place of "Can", the words would have, or could have, or should have, flowed much better.

Silly? Sorry again. Maybe it's cabin fever. I'm sure that it will stop when I go back to work tomorrow morning.

It's not always all about alliteration. Sometimes the sentence has to make sense. I could have use "could" but I should have used "should" and I did.

Did you miss that day in English class? It might flow better with "Could" but it would not be an example of illiteration.

Actually, "could" would be a great example of illiteration

I am NOT illiterate; my parents were married.

I thought illiteration meant throwing trash on the ground.

Only when it's contaminated with nasty bacteria.
