I remember that too.

What the fuck is wrong with people. True, I can't spell my way out of a wet paper bag but that's just a touch of dyslexia or something similar, but that doesn't mean the world should change for me, I have dictionary.com I can get by. If Johnny can't spell then maybe parents should be paying more attention to his homework.

This country is going down fast.]]> Anonymous User The PatioFri, 14 Jul 2006 23:32:05 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,9494,9614#msg-9614 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,9494,9614#msg-9614 mercurior The PatioFri, 14 Jul 2006 20:26:51 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,9494,9569#msg-9569 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,9494,9569#msg-9569
But we never did. I remember it being all over the news, and that people were bitching that it was TOOOOO HAAAAAAARRRD.

But it is NOT that floopin' hard...since it is all measured in units of 10, it really IS easier.

Yet these morons want us to spell things phonetically. If this happens, I hope I'm dead by then, because I'd rather gouge my eyeballs out with a rusty ice pick than have to read books written like a lot of that article was.]]> Anonymous User The PatioFri, 14 Jul 2006 01:24:01 +0000 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,9494,9554#msg-9554 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,9494,9554#msg-9554pidgen spelling! I never realized there are losers out there who would boycott a spelling bee!
