Octopuses

Or octopi. I like octopuses more because everyone seems to think it's wrong

Spoken like a true teenager with no real life experience.

How do you think your boss is going to react when he notices that you can't even send an email that displays a complete lack of even the most basic language skills? Do you think they're going to let you close to doing something as simple as sending an office memo, let alone negotiating with a vendor?

What do you think the HR person looking through resumes is going to do when he comes across one with numerous errors?

The fact is that language skills are critically important in "real life." Graduating high school isn't where all of this stupid "learning" stuff ends. Real life is about the workplace and if you want to have a job that pays more than $25,000 a year for the rest of your life, language skills are necessary.


Well said and indeed well written.

no they wont, i've had my stuff published before and thanks to spell checker and the fact that soceity as a whole doesnt follow stupid grammar rules i can do it easily. If you read most books or articles you will notice that grammar is not very important. i mean when the hell do you hear people saying "john and I" they almost always say "me and John" but it doesnt matter.
