1. By all means, let's concentrate on the important issues such as

That one drives me nuts. Even the brainiacs do that one from time to time, and it makes me want to scream. I can forgive almost any misspelling, but that one is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

I get nuts when I see 'prolly' instead of probably. It forces you to read it that way and inevitably pisses me off!! :mad:

But if teachers cannot stem the tide of the problem at it's source, I'm dubious that a message board will resolve the issue once and for all.
