When I was a kid (a century ago) my dad augmented my language abilities by playing "proofread the newspaper" with me. It was a bit of work to find errors back then, though not as much as it should have been.

"Professional" English has deteriorated a couple of orders of magnitude since then.

Spell it the way it sounds. In some places, that's the way it sounds. Like "worsh" vs "wash".

Shorts, that's probably pretty close to the truth these days.
BTW, your avatar kills me. Big Lebowski is one of my favorite movies, and when I hear someone say Cummings, I about lose my mind. Seems to find my last nerve every time. There was an advertisement on my local classic rock station for the Dodge dealer. The DJ kept saying Cummings in it. After about 2 days of hearing that played I had to call and complain. The Dj told me he had gotten hundreds of people calling to correct him. He was leaving it as is because he got a kick out of it.

Sounds like bad publicity is better than no publicity

<-- the avatar is a universally appropriate response in most if not all daily interactions - driving, coworkers, going to the grocery story, etc Some days you just want to pull out the .45 and wave it around

If you feel as such, then you can hunt these two pickleheads who's desire for a cup of coffee trumps their ability to show respect.

Unless the passenger asked for a cup of DD on his way to the cemetery, I think there wouldn't be any real reason to stop and leave him sitting in the car like that...
