Do they not teach basic writing in grade school anymore? I remember learning about punctuation back in second grade. Damn...it really is getting that bad if that is now something you learn in College.

OT: Bad grammar and punctuation on the internet

- drivers using their cell phone who break every two seconds because they can't multitask. That goes dbl for text'ers.

-People who have a "support our troops" magnet right next to their gas tank door on their Suburban or Tahoe. It gives off the impression that soldiers are dying so these ass clowns can burn up massive amounts of fuel.)

-People who have Romney "Believe in America" bumper stickers, knowing Romney didn't "Believe in America" enough to keep his money here in the US, and invest in American companies, instead he dissolved American companies and sold them off to foreign countries and then invested in those foreign companies. Sick dude.
Believe'd in America, my a$$.

-Fart-can mufflers...

-pimping rims that are on cars that aren't worth half the cost of the rims.

Read my post after that. If you have ever taken notes for the health profession in the upper level classes, you'll know that you do not have time for pretty little dots and swirls. So it's not second nature for me to have perfect grammar on every little thing that i do like some people.

It's not a level of knowledge, it's a level of GAF. The accuracy of grammar is directly proportional to the amount of fucks that are given on that particular day. If no fucks are given, grammar will be atrocious. Trying to get someone to raise their GAF is as useless as trying to fix stupid.

The time it takes to hit the "Shift" key at the same time you are hitting another key on your keyboard is pretty annoying isn't it?

Somehow it takes more time than adding punctuation?

No fucks given = smooth shifting.
