    In honor of yees talents you share with us,
    I offer you all the tomatoes and potatoes you would like.
    We could be the goofyest or the most intelligent person in the world.  I have always taken your slight corrections with our malfunctions as a sign of caring how we present ourselves to the public.
    That is not sucking up. That is a true fact. 
    Before you go there, I know a fact is always true; therefore, I only need to state one or the other.   They don't need to be together.  Big winks and smiles!  Just Playin' with Ya! :) :)

      ((((Folks, after writing all of that, Merle has been through a terrible strain, so she's been seen by a physician who loaded her up with sedatives and ordered her to rest quietly for at least an hour with a cold, damp washcloth on her forehead.  Shhhhhhhh, please down awaken her.))))

    What are you talking about? There is an e regardless of if they are plural or singular. 
    Tater(s)
    Mater(s)

      I so wanted to give you Asker's Pick for this, but Merlin already stole it from you.  I'd even change it, but it's not worth it for me to get beat up by her. (Again.)

    Hmmm.  Let me see.... I know it does take many a spell to cast upon you Randy,
    BUT,
    Since my2cents is involved, I'll let it go this time.  
    Next time you are in for serious spankings!! 

    I will happily bow down to my2cents. 

    Big smiles to both you and my2cents!

    There are very few words I have difficulty spelling correctly. Termaters ain't one of them.  Neither is potatoes.

    I ain't got no trouble spelling 'taters," neither. This post was edited by tom jackson at August 4, 2018 6:23 AM MDT
