[PrintOwners] Proper Grammar

[Steve Blatman]

As the resident grammarian here, I try to set a good example. There 
are some "Pennsylvania Dutch-isms" regularly used by one employee 
that grate a bit. Since I don't think correcting them would result in 
a net improvement here, I refrain from doing so.

You might be amused by the story of a boy whose aunt was visiting 
from Australia. At bedtime, he asked her to read him a story from one 
of the books she "came up from down under with."

I'd also rather see an employee ending a sentence with a preposition, 
than ending a sentence with a proposition....<g>
