General School & Education
I think we now have proof that the educational system in this country is right down the sewer. Some of the polls on Sodahead are almost uninterpretable. The spelling is horrid. The language is attrocious... Where did they go to school.

Answered I are did go to privit skewl
I can see what you mean, but I'm not as stupid as many of these people and I'm 18. In my opinion private school is worse then public, my little brothers friend goes to private and he doesn't know half the things my brother does.
However, I just love to laugh at ignorant uneducated Jonas Brothers fan girls cursing you out (with terrible grammer) for hating the Jonas Brothers. (Agree with them or die... hmm......

They're using texting language sometimes, other times the just can't spell. I use good spelling and grammar all the time. About graduating before 1980, I heard two old ladies who didn't know each other use the term "worser" instead of "worse". -

Answered What? Is there something wrong with "who is the most funnest?"
DrTim has my vote!
And don't even get me started on my elementary school age children attending a 70% non-english speaking school-Not by choice-but public district school-I am working real hard here to keep my wits about me! -
Please help me understand. How is the internet the problem? If people know how to spell, know how to speak, and can formulate a proper sentence, then why can't they do that on the internet? It is either a lack of proper education or a lack of interest in doing things correctly. And if people slack for a long enough period of time, they can easily lose whatever knowledge they once had.

Answered I graduated before 1980. I am fairly well educated
Today's young people have a language all their own. My kids tell me to shorten up the words when I send them text messages. I tell my children to text me in English only. Letters instead of words spelling phonetically; it's a whole new world. -

Some people just can't spell but you have to remember there are people from all over the world on here. English isn't always the first language. But so help me there should be a down rave category for that damn texting language! -

It is true but sad. I will be the first to admit I am not the greatest speller but I have spell check and use it! Also I use google to check the meaning of some words or find one that would get my point across better. what scares me is the younger sodaheads! Wow, is it that they can't spell or don't care? Charlotte Iserbyt wrote a book called "the deliberate dumbing down of america" - A Chronological Paper Trail. I can see it is working.

But, for example, when I was 20 years old and my husband was at sea, in the Navy, I had no money and my VW bus broke down -- I got a book, actually read it, and rebuilt the flippin' engine with the help of my mother, because my dad was working and on the road.... Being able to read is also very important, and I'm not sure these kids can read, or they would know just how bad their polls are...
