    I just think if this person is so gung-ho about letting a kid know that they are a parent and 30 and about to buy a house, they might want to be able to spell the word college. To me, one seems less intelligent when spelling common words incorrectly, but it really doesn't matter what I think. I was just trying to let them know so perhaps it will stick and they won't keep misspelling the word. Seriously, I did not mean to start an argument or come across as rude. Now please no one respond to this, so that the thread can remain on topic.

    No, not at all! I like your posts and definitely agree. I just shouldn't have said anything.

    Not unintelligent, or a purposeful misspelling. Just trying to be calm while angry, and not catching dumb typos. Sometimes my finger dance off and type things that I know to be incorrect (know instead of no, peak instead of pique, etc.) Very obnoxious, but I'm not so vexed by it when in a casual setting like a message board or live chatting with friends.

    (Also, tumblr has been an atrocious influence on my punctuation usage. Oops.)
