71. anything can be a "word"
That does not mean it is grammatically correct in usage,

I am sick to death of people that say "me and Jim went there " or" I don't have no candy "

I think our English teachers need to go back to school so they can at least teach grammar and proper usage of words.

We have become verbally" illiterate " in this country.
