Bail out schools instead of business.

How unfortunate that my first blog in ages is me cranking about something. But it's just got to be said!!

So, with all this business about bailing out banks and auto makers and this and that, from what I can see, we should be more concerned with bailing out our schools because judging by the crap I read that people type and the things that come out of people's mouths- it would be money better spent.

I say this because everyday I'm on Facebook, I guarantee I count a minimum amount of five times that I see "you are" contracted into the misspelling of "your". For the umpteenth time, "your" is possessive, "you're" is a contraction of "you are". This fact is lost on countless people, and yet- didn't we learn this in elementary english?

But alas, this is not the target of my ire. Nor is it the capricious swap of then and than. Today, I read someone's comment and they used the phrase "leaning a pond God". Perhaps, this is more commonly known as "leaning upon God".

Leaning. A. Pond. Wow. Not only is this wrong, it doesn't even make sense!!!! I mean, I know what THEY mean, but really- did she even read her words to check that maybe they were borderline unintelligible in meaning?

Am I the only one going crazy here?!? Seriously, people say things all day long and yet when they commit them to print or type, THIS is the crap they think they are saying?!? And we wonder why our country has faded on the world stage- it's because our citizens talk like madness!!!

Sigh. I'm going to go lean my head UPON my pillow because I have a headache from the stupidity and the fact that I work tonight.

Tune in next time, where I will explain for all doctors to read the difference between castor oil and castrol oil and how one makes you poop and the other keeps your car running smoothly.
