You have thus argued for the death of education. Tom Send a noteboard - 31/05/2017 02:51:11 PM

Everyone makes errors, particularly when typing fast or not bothering to read messages after the fact (or not having the time). However, when writing is so consistently incoherent and spelling errors are so numerous, it is a reflection of the intellectual capabilities (or lack thereof) of the individual generally.

As for my assessment of his writing ability as being at the fourth grade level, I concede that actually it's probably at a second grade level or worse - my 8-year-old already writes better. And yes, form is important. If form isn't important then I understand much better how people get to college and are capable of nothing but poorly reasoned political action to mask their stupidity and ignorance.

Grammar and spelling are tools of oppression, right?

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Picking a concert that would be mostly teenage girls makes it extra disgusting *NM* - 23/05/2017 09:37:25 PM 277 Views
Not really. It's a logical extension of the whole rationale. - 23/05/2017 09:50:30 PM 567 Views
He said 'extra disgusting'. Not 'less logical'. *NM* - 23/05/2017 10:29:21 PM 294 Views
I am not sure logic applies to the issue. - 23/05/2017 10:41:32 PM 468 Views

Your errors are legion here. - 24/05/2017 10:03:53 PM 516 Views
Really? I see precisely one point which, according to you, is a factual error. - 26/05/2017 11:41:00 PM 569 Views
You're not looking very hard, then - 27/05/2017 03:23:36 PM 589 Views

I would prefer to annihilate them, if possible, without boots on the ground. - 24/05/2017 06:03:49 PM 487 Views
