    OMG!!! Stupid people really bug me. I went to a college prep high school, and you would assume that anyone who managed to graduate from a school like that would have a basic understanding of grammar...yet I see so many errors in Facebook status updates. Every once in a while I can understand, but some of these people do it a TON...and it isn't from their phone, so you KNOW it isn't an auto-correct situation.

    "I could care less."

    Every time I see this, I sort of want to smash my monitor.

    But, I COULD care less; I'm naturally a rather sympathetic person :flowerforyou:

    What is even worse than misspelling in your argument... misspelling during sexting! Totally ruins the moment. :noway:

    really detracts (although distracts would be awesome too) from your argument.

    You totally shouldn't have edited that. I just assumed it was intentional, given context!

    Yeah, I agree. It's not a "spelling police" thing at all. It just shows your lack of intelligence, and your inability to really think through your point. If you can't even see that a word is spelled incorrectly, how could you have possibly thought through your argument?

    In my opinion, though, there is a difference between an occasional typo and consistently making spelling and grammatical errors. I daresay everyone has been guilty of a typo from time to time.

    You would think anyone who has a high school diploma could spell AND punctuate. I can't stand when people don't punctuate properly or over use punctuation marks, every single time they type or txt. :noway:

    Editied to add my first word. Lol.

    Personally, I would rather they use too much punctuation than not use it at all.

    I work in college admissions, and the most entertaining part of my job is reading the prospective students' essays. We have a culinary school, but you'd be amazed at how many applicants are actually looking to be chiefs (of what, we're unsure). I wish I could think of some better examples right quick because let me tell you, I've seen some gems.

    Point being: I can tell you with absolute certainty that graduation from high school is no longer about having actually learned a damn thing, least of all spelling and grammar.

    Yeah, I had to fix a typo. I'd have fixed it in ANY thread, though, for the record!

    In modern American society, a 'college prep' education is barely worth bragging about.

    in this case, my alma mater is small and exclusive....remedial classes are not in the curriculum--you have to go to night school for that-- and we had a VERY high percentage of kids in the AP classes, some taking several. We graduated lots of future college professors, at least one pharmacist, a bunch of computer geeks, and a guy who works in LA doing digital animation ( he worked on the last Spiderman movie!) We only graduated 100 kids in my class.
