"south" Walton County

[Teresa]

May I ask a question SJ? In the whole scheme of things, does this really matter? I mean, you live in paradise. What the hell does it matter WHAT they call it? ;-)

You said it darlene!

It doesn't really matter that much. I just think that journalists should be better skilled with grammar. They do tend to be the only "educational tool" for very many adults. -- It is no wonder we all use such poor grammEr.

SJ - I see your point.. you would think journalists would want to be technically correct when writing/speaking about any matter. South Walton is a second name of our town. South Walton County is too, but is misleading.

Shallows - we would like a history lesson on this matter! All I know is that we've had all these different names floating around for more than 10 years.

this reminds me of something our local newspaper does that makes me insane !!! the headline last week said "two killed on local roads" and then in the article they printed a picture of a man who was a local police officer. we all thought he was one of the people killed, but they actually just put his pic there because they quoted him in the article. i thought this was terribly irresponsible.

Wait! I may have found the answer to America's lack of proper grammar. Clicky the .
