Ignorant kids using their phones for brains.

Somehow I don’t think that the kids who post here had “learned” spelling and writing of your/you’re, its/it’s, pedal/peddle, there/they’re/their and so many others from their smartyphones!

Cell phones and calculators should be banned from schools...but that would be racism and inequality.

My nephew's a huge fan of those “auto correct nightmares” websites.One day he was reading some to me and one of them was about the funniest thing I ever heard.In a tweet to a girl that he was falling for some guy tried to tell her how much she meant to him.He meant to say “you're the first girl who's ever made me think of the future”.With auto correct it came out “you're the first girl who's ever made me think of the Fuhrer”.

See that all the time in electronic editions of books, emails, etc... Can’t help who it offends, but people look illiterate when a word is not used or spelled properly. This is ignorance personified. More “dumbing down” of the educational system and further proof that future generations will be even less-equipped to compete in the work force than current ones.

100’s of million Asian kids memorize dozens of characters/ week. For years.
This mental exercise HAS to do something positive to their brains.

Based on the resumes we received lately, we plan to hire someone who can decipher and read text just to find out what these applicants are really saying.

Exactly!
What good is being smart if you can’t express yourself so others can understand you?

I don’t care who I’ll offend either in repeating what one teacher told me once, and that is that people who don’t know how to spell most likely don’t read, or don’t know how to reach, because one learns spelling not from writing but from, d’uh, reading!

Here's a recent message, sent via a smartphone by the late Trayvon Martin:
"da police caught me outta skool."
