For one thing, it's Ms. Wombat. For another, hackers or not, people in
college should have learned grammar and spelling in grade school.
Those who didn't should consider learning it now, especially if they
think they'd ever like to have someone take them seriously.
Anyone who hasn't take the time to proofread has probably not taken
the time to think about what they (used in the generic, nonsexist
sense) just wrote. So why should I read it? Why should anyone?
If Scott Preece's four-year-old daughter can spell, why can't a
twenty-year-old college student? And I'm still sick of seeing 'paid'
spelled 'payed.'
