Grammar and Spelling Matters

Spotted on Facebook, on a schoolday, from my then 11.5 year old younger son:

" School k id.: home sick ;(
4 hours ago near Trumbull, CT

My son:  Are you sick at home or are you home sick? Just asking.
43 minutes ago


School kid: i got sick and came home...
40 minutes ago


My son: Oh okay. That clears t up. :) Get well soon.

Gotta love it. Home sick vs. homesick, it makes a difference. Also this abbreviated talking on texting and Facebook can sometimes be confusing due to the omission of other words that we use to put words into proper context.
