Post Debate

Memo to Mr. Sparks:



The Doesn't or Don't Rule is:



Doesn't, does not, or does is used with the third person singular--words like he, she, and it.

Don't, do not, or do is used for other subjects.

Incorrect: It don't matter anymore.

Correct: It doesn't matter anymore.

Incorrect: Grandfather don't see too well.

Correct: Grandfather doesn't see too well.

Correct: His glasses don't help him much.



Memo to Mr . Bentley:

The AEA has said it was going to sit out the race for Governor because both candidates support public education. Adding 10 years onto the retirement time for teachers---from 20 to 30 years--- probably isn't going to keep 'em on the sideline. Doesn't you think?
