READ them, LEARN them, RECITE them, PRACTICE them and USE them CORRECTLY!

Okay? Thank you.

Now where's my teacher's paycheck?!
It beats the heck out of me too. Some of the spelling and bad grammar on this forum makes me cringe. I even use proper spelling and punctuation when I text people (including commas). But then I'm an English teacher.

Or is it that stupidity is worshiped by the far right and ghetto blacks? What strange bed fellows.

I have a friend who is an English teacher. She doesn't know the difference. There are definitely some very good, well educated teachers in the profession, but there are plenty who are just in it b/c it's an easy job. (By easy I mean easy to get into - not easy to do) At my college, education was everyone's back up program when they couldn't hack it somewhere else.

Oh, I used to type like that. But I was only 14 and 15. But I even see people in their early 20s who type like that. On Facebook, (this is mostly among girls), they space out the letters and put a 'q' in place of a 'g'. Back in Easter, one mother posted a status saying, "my kids found all the eqqs*" with a weird star symbol at the top. I don't know what "eqqs" are or what it means.
