Costomers Calling Native Americans Indians, last time I checked I was of Native American blood, not from India.
Actually, here in Portugal, and maybe Spain too, we call native americans "?ndios" because when Christopher Columbus arrived in America, he thought he had reached India. People from India are called "indianos". So maybe that's why some people call them indians.

Was savages or Indians originally. It's now considered racist to call a Native American or aboriginal person an Indian in North America.
In linguistics, grammar is the set of structural rules that governs the composition of clauses, phrases, and words in any given natural language. ....... The term grammar is often used by non-linguists with a very broad meaning.
And the net is full of "experts" claiming using the incorrect homophone is bad grammar. It is not, the word is placed in the correct manner in the sentence structure - it is just that it is spelt wrong for its intended meaning within that sentence. That is a spelling mistake and not a grammar mistake.

Let the pseuds continue their pretensions.
Once you start using punctuation and constructing strings of words, it becomes grammar unless it is strictly an error in spelling. Quoting from Wikapedia is not going to change this. An error within sentence structure such as "whats it to you?" Makes it a grammar issue because the word that is a combination of two words, what is - what's, is a contraction. You can call me all the names you would like but it does not change anything. Contractions are a grammar issue.
Take the made up word "alot" - it could be argued that this is a misspelling. People spell what they hear. Does that make it strictly a spelling issue or, due to combining two words that will never, ever be a contraction, make it a grammar issue?
You have a lot of nerve trying to defend your "reasoning" by assuming I am a fraud.
If you can not argue without name calling, that makes you something less than credible.

yes I get it, you are suffering an american folie ? plusieurs.
Just because you think the "rules" you know are correct does not make it so.
As for name calling, I did not quote you in my post and the "name calling" was thus not directed at you unless you want to make it so.

For your example "whats it to you?", it could be that the person knows that there is suppose to be an '. They just were too lazy to switch between the letter keyboard to the symbols and punctuation keyboard. Laziness is not a good excuse, but everything now a days is about instant gratification. Also grammar and spelling are not a big deal to me. I make my fair share of spelling and grammar mistakes, especially if I'm typing fast and don't re-read what I wrote. I'm here to have fun looking at other people's towns.

Great topic though!
Oh, and I love when people say I'm typing on a small keypad so spelling is overlooked. Yup, that makes sense.

Wrong again. But please, elaborate for my pleasure. If you don't mind. I mean, if you have the time.
