Well, I can&#8217;t really say stolen; after all, it&#8217;s not like Becks started posting hers. But she will have to find something else. The story that&#8217;s using the title is soooo lame, too. I wish, really wish, that some of these kids would\u00a0just sit back and enjoy what the older generation is writing, but then again, there are members of the older generation that don&#8217;t write well either, and if the younger doesn&#8217;t practice then they won&#8217;t get better at the craft. I guess the real problem that I see is that the younger generation thinks its stuff is just fine the way it is and won&#8217;t take constructive criticism. Not even on mechanical issues such as spelling and word usage.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Enough.
