  • Why do people say their hair is "healthy"?

    Hair is a dead substance and no matter what you use on it it will never be "healthy" by sheer definition of the word "dead". Hair develops under the scalp. To have

    "healthy" hair one would have to treat what's under the skin. All products such as shampoos and conditioners, dyes just touch the surface and does not penetrate deep within the scalp where the hair is still living.

    So why do they call hair "healthy"?

  • Do you think the computer has contributed to the decline of the English language/grammar?

    I DO! I can overlook typos but paragraphs that are a mile long without one single punctuation mark are ridiculous.

    I also think that people should learn how to spell before they start using "internet speak" ie: gr8t for great, u for you, 4 for for, etc. Also some people must think the readers are mind readers with the use of so many obscure acronyms!

    WHERE DID THESE PRACTICES START???? Who ever started them should be shot.

    I know that there are many here that English is a second language so the use of improper grammar and spelling is understandable. But when a native English speaker does it, to me it just makes them sound illiterate and stupid.

    Sorry for venting but does anyone else feel this way?
