Professor Hazard's Terrible Blog

Sunday, November 9, 2008

Some days I'm ready to throw in the towel.

It's gotten bad these days, people.

If you understand basic arithmetic, you're a NERD. If you can spell at a fifth-grade level, you're a GRAMER FAG. At some point, it became all right for people to not only become appallingly under-educated morons, but proud ones at that. For the most part, they seem to demand the right to ignorance. God help you if you show the slightest hint of adequacy, because these tuber-creatures from the anus of humanity will give you an earful over it.

I don't want to send my kids to school with these dumpster babies. I don't even know what to think about the horrifying idea of them running the world when my generation is too enfeebled to do so. I tell myself that maybe every generation is like this. Maybe every generation thinks the next one down is so stupid that it will leave the world a shambles.

What kills me is their sense of entitlement. OH, YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEIR, THEY'RE AND THERE? No, dipshit, I think that that is something a child should understand. Maybe if you didn't stub up and act like I just called you a racial slur because I implied that you should be as smart as the janitors were in my high school - maybe if you took five goddamn seconds to commit to memory how to spell words, and why they should be spelled that way - but no. You've got some kind of right to acting like...

You know what, I think I'm just going to walk away from this article before it ends with gunfire

I know just how you feel. So many people, even in the "real" world, are in positions where they are both adults and in positions that require more than a junior high education to be in, and they are making the stupidest errors. Not mistakes, not typos, because that would imply that they actually DO know better. It astonishes me how little Kids These Days know about basic writing principles.

Exactly. And the amazing thing is, YOU'RE (YOUR? UR.) the asshole if you try to educate someone. For their own good. Unfortunately, a very small number of these fuck-ups are in positions where their errors will kill or at the very least sterilize them.

I tell you, it makes me want to join a Facebook group called "I know how an apostrophe works, and it is sad that that is worth bragging about these days".
