Grammar WAS [at-l] Memorial Day Weekend

Maybe we're all punch drunk from lack of backpacking?  

We've lost the proper use of grammar and spelling as the media has re-designed the definitions of words to suit the political climate, and as the political climate has rephrased the definitions of words to suit the media.

How do you teach "u always follows q" to children when we now have learned words and names that have q's which are not followed by u's?  

Three years from today, I'll still be hiking in Pennsylvania.

  I'm not trying to be a turd. The above is basic High School English sentence structure. I gave up years ago correcting people's sentence structures conveyed through the Internet. I'm happy when I can understand what a person has to say, instead of being horrified at dangling modifiers, or etc.
