We have a major state university locally and some professors are not focused on grammar and spelling if the thought can be understood. While I know some can use perfect grammar and spelling and still say NOTHING somehow grammar and spelling should be more important it seems.

I know and trust my grammar, it's my gramper, I'm worried about...:B:B....Dennis

Thanks to texting, emailing and not learning how to spell any longer communication in the future may be even harder as the 'right English' becomes unknown.

I knew I was in trouble when my 10-12th grade English teacher said, "Boy I a'int got no hope for you." :)

Well, since we're discussing the right english... your title to this post was:

"tow vehicle"

So, just so we're talking the right english... a "tow vehicle" is one that is DOING the towing...not the one being towed. Your title should have read:

"Towed Vehicle"

Ok, now back to the story...

I understand people have different ways of spelling words. But when they are pronouncing the way its spelled, and remember I am new to this. I just want to make sure I am speaking the right ENGLISH.

We call Ours a Toad!

As in Towed behind along the Road!

:B

I sense the presence of a Kindred-Spirit-English-Major!

As I'm sure you already know, O.P., the correct word is "dingHy"...many folks overlook that "H" when typing!

I thought it had something to do with boats(at least I hoped it was),because I surely don't want something dingy (dirty) following behind me. Thanks

Cuz "Dingbats" tow "dinghies".....:B:B..Dennis

It seems to be a marine term for what you might tow behind a larger boat/sail boat that you and use to get to shore when the water is shallow.

Note the spelling is different.
