Idiocracy ITS HAPPENING PEOPLE!!
Just a quick rant. Is it just me or is the world getting dumber? Now I don't claim to be a writer, or an English major but I see people graduating high school with honors that can barely spell their own name!
SHAME on the public school system. SHAME SHAME SHAME!!!
I can barely read Craigslist anymore because it ticks me off so bad. Im looking for a new car and noticed all of the spelling errors and its driving me nuts. Enough that I felt the need to post this and rant to you guys.
I saw a job posting today that required the candidate to have a 4 year degree and 3 years experience yet I could barely read the job posting because it was so full of spelling and grammar errors.
On that note I cant get a decent job to save my life because I don't have a degree yet the person offering the job has an education of a 5th grader.
God it makes me so mad!!!!!!!! Thank you for listening to my rant.

You are complaining about people butchering the English language, which is mostly caused by laziness,
and then you go and make this comment...
I personally would not like having a computer fix punctuation for me.

A friend of mine is doing a masters in english, for his defence he claimed there are now three forms of english in use. Oral, written, and chat. He argued his defence with 'text' on a phone. He has a kid do the texting for the committee (faster...) and at the end he came out with a printed summary of the text sent both ways... all full of 'text shorthand' he was granted his degree. LOL... where R-U... and all the others are common to see in text and IM but are starting to creep into regular writing practices. It seems that where proper grammar and usage are missing 'text' creeps in. It is sad as there is a lot of reading between the lines and interpretations made.

I can't even write in text. Takes me longer to think what the shorthand would be.

Fortunately I live in a state that actually funds it's public school system. Most of the people I know can spell just fine.
