Is anyone else disturbed that there are people here who are in college and don't know how to spell "college?"

Question

Alas, spell check wouldn't have helped this young lady, as I'm sure it would have assumed she was simply putting together a collage.

Also, sadly, this is not the first time I've seen this word misspelled on this site. Each time it's been in the context of someone purporting to be in college themselves.

Answer 1

lol... I know what question you just read. :) To answer your question, yes, it's very disturbing.

Answer 2

I suppose that is a little bit humorous, but there are those of us who simply can't spell. I hold a graduate degree, and if weren't for spell check I'd never have gotten through. What's sad is that spell check is available for everything this site offers and people won't take the time to use it.

Answer 3

Even scarier is that these kollidge edjookayted peepil will probably make more money than all the rest of us literates put together. I weep for the future.

Answer 4

It's called "social promotion," which is basically getting promoted to the next grade because you failed so much that you're in class with people four to five younger than you are(even though you didn't really pass the class).

Answer 5

Yeah! And the hoppers at Sonic don't know enough math to give the right change back. That's funny and irritating.

Answer 6

Yes, and it also disturbs me how many people can't spell the word 'pregnant'...it's not really that hard, is it? Especially when there is a spell checker there!

Answer 7

just because someone is bad at one thing doesnt mean they are stupid and are bad at everything

Answer 8

Absolutely......YIKES....lol

Answer 9

yeah

Answer 10

Count me in, DR! :-))
