Heck, Yes Dear Ann: Here’s a tip for Cinderella in Pennsylvania,” who lost a good friend because of her foul language. A few years ago, an office pal and I decided to clean up our speech. We put a “cussing cup” ANN LANDERS _ derestimate my readers. I doubt that any but a very few would be offended. Unfortunately, there is so much trashy talk on TV these days, the word “hell” barely raises an eyebrow.

These essays were very neat. In addition, the spelling was impeccable, since the students used spell-check devices. Some even had grammar check- typed papers had an advantage over those who wrote by hand. Someteachers grade essays on content alone and ignore spelling, grammar and neatness. I believe teachers who want to make sure students know how to spell or conjugate a verb should give tests on those subjects. This would giveall students a level playing field. word processor would guarantee a higher grade can find a computer to use for the occasion at most libraries or copier centers.It's go- they had taken thetime to become compnter-literate. It was impossi- ing to be up to the teachers, how- ever, to decide how to handle this ever-growing problem. oOo Dear Ann: Maybe I can beof help to “C.N. in Denver,” who wrote and said she had a nervous habit of chewing her cheek. I had the same problem,and my dentist solved it for me. He suggested a night guard thatfits over the low- er teeth. That did it. — D.B.H. in “TWO THUMBS UP!” SISKEL 6 ERENT N.C.
