ManyMoose, Spelling counts, as evidenced by this news item.

I can ROF and LOL all I want at the article, but I will confess to having fallen victim to my spellchecker, and more than once or twice. <g> - Holly

My soil science professor had a fast rule that knocked one letter grade down for every misspelled word. Spelling had nothing to do with soil science either, but made sure I did not take the hit.

Lindy posted an interesting missive. An e-mail from an apparent student at an unnamed college.

It scares me for what the future holds:

My sociology professer was talking about the blogspere and how irresponsible it is and he kept saying this blog over and over aboout how it represents evil and stuff. I was curious and came hear. I don't really know if it is evil because mostly all I see is a lot of stupid boring stiff that doesn't make since and I don't fell like reading anymore. Thats all I really had to say. You should know people are watching you I guess.
