Let's use this opportunity to show what we know. This is NOT myspace or a personal chat room. You should use Standard American English, not slang or online lingo (LOL, ROTFL, OMG...) Students always ask, "Does spelling count?" Spelling always counts, in our learning and in our lives. Remember as we discussed in class, we are judged by how we use our language, both written and spoken. Make every word count.
