Today, I asked my daughter what time it was. She stared at the clock for several seconds before muttering, "I don't know". She's 14 years old and on the honour roll, and yet she can't tell the time on an analogue clock. FML

I know college kids who can't read a regular clock. It scares me that these people are the future of this world.

Exactly what I was thinking... Anything is possible on the Internet, and many find that speaking of oneself as higher than in reality online in order to create a different perception of personality is a way to boost self-esteem.

Just because someone doesn't spell correctly on the internet, it doesn't mean that they are stupid. Maybe they just don't care about spelling things correctly online. Or maybe, like me, they use an ipod/iphone to post here. The touch screen keyboard causes me to make spelling mistakes sometimes, and I do know how to spell. They might just suck at spelling. A person can be very intelligent and still have trouble with spelling. My dads spelling is horrible, yet he is a very intelligent man.

All #14 did was swap n and and. However I'm very annoyed of hearing that whole "He may be on an ipod" thing. This is still a website, and therefore it's expected that real words will be used...

I was AND still am using my iPhone. I have decent grammar actually:) but thanks for the concern.
