See this more & more with young people, I could get on a RANT here about schools of today & poor or no goals of students & teachers but I'll restrain myself for now. [ Whew!!! that was close to a rant starting]

I hear ya!

 

I agree with you 100% about the texting. This is resulting in poor results in test scores amoungst students. I never liked the idea of calculatores in primary scholl either.

I hate to poke fun at the guy, ok a little pleasure was derived. My wife is a school teacher, both her and I had one heck of a time even pronouncing Parrisieanneiane or whatever he wrote !!!! She sees this every day.
And it is only going to get worse. Sad thing is the schools accept this crap and have no plans to correct it.  LOL, TTYL, OMG , ROLTGLMFAO.

One of the worst I have ever seen was from Ebag. This guy was selling a set of 73-77 Monte swivel buckets, and called them "Schwibble buckets". That's not just a mispelling, but a complete lack of knowing what he was even saying.

I think it's a scam...... On the top Pontiac is spelled right ..then on the bottom Pontaic.
You could have dropped out a grade 4, but you can look at your car to spell it right

ROLTGLMFAO. I'm 19, and I still don't even know what the hell that means.

its funny though, last week, one of my managers asked me for abbreviations that he can use while he was on his cell phone/blackberry, all I knew was LOL and LMAO.  I still don't have a cell.

Rolling on the ground laughing my f## a## off !
Like I am doing right now !!

Another sad thing is, that even if their phones or computers have spell-check it's American and not
the Canadian spelling. When my nephew was in high school and I told him his spelling was just atrocious, he said that the teachers didn't care about spelling, just content. I thought he was giving me a line, but it turned out what he said was true. Even all his years in university no one was concerned about his atrocious spelling. His reply when I asked "Don't you take any pride in being able to spell correctly?" "What's the point? That's what spell-check is for." PFFT!
