I am constantly amazed at the amount of people who don't know the difference between "our" and "are". I see it all the time on the internet. I've seen it on very official bulletins, supposedly written by people who should know better. There is definately something wrong somewhere......
Why are the parents whining about their kids not walking across the stage on graduation day when the little darlings cannot pass a simple test? If the kids studied and paid attention, they could pass the TAKS test. If they cannot play because they did not pass, then they should not walk across the stage.

It's the dumbing down of America. It's real, it's happening, and as someone with a degree in English, it's killing me to see stuff like that.

ReplyDeleteI frequently see these kinds of goofs in memos sent home from the staff at my kids' school. Now that's sad.
