I'm owned by two horses. Romeo is a 17 year old AQHA gelding, who will be putting his trail buddy / babysitter status to good use. Harley is a 7 year old AQHA gelding out of Skys Blue Boy, and this year, we're going to try all KINDS of new things.
I'm afraid it needed to be said and I'm glad you did. The state of education in this country is abysmal. More kids are graduating without the benefit of learning anything. I'd love it if they could at least read and spell. I wonder if all the text messaging has something to do with the misspelling of everything? I don't think so, I used to take shorthand but I could still spell.
If it were children committing the spelling and grammatical sins, I would not have spoken. Kids should be entitled to screw up frequently - That's how we learn. If I saw a child spelling poorly, I would try to be much more cheerful and helpful.
These are spelling and grammar disasters I see from blogging adults. The largest reason it bothers me lately - these are parents of kids discussing how they're going to teach little Johnny or baby Sally how to be a respectable member of a productive capitalist society.
