Who is illiterate?

All the posters here who say "to fat," instead of "too fat." Who say, "loose weight," instead of "lose weight."

All the posters here who have made it a joke to say "hugh," instead of "huge." Or, "stuned," instead of "stunned."

I think Toyota has a point. If I see another "its"/"it's" misuse, I will scream.

I could go on and on.

This website is a tesitmony to Americans' lack of education.

Then you need to relax. I have nearly a decade of post-graduate work under my belt and I just made the its/it's mistake earlier today. I know the difference. It's a mistake. People make them.

And, no, that does not make the mistaken person illiterate.

FWIW, I wonder how many Fortune 500 CEOs could pass a spelling test?

No it's a testimony that Toyota put's more weight on engineers than people that know when "its"/it's misuse" is a problem. Try spellcheck if you're going to throw down on others for "English rules violations". Sheesh....
