Use your brain...

I realized today that a majority of people in the world are retarded. Not in a Special Olympics sort of way, but in a, "are you really that stupid?" sort of way. I've had a hunch about this worldly retardation for a long while, but today it was confirmed. A co-worker printed an email they were writing and handed it to me to proof read. (Retard moment#1) Every sentence seemed to have at least one spelling mistake. Not the simple mistakes either, like typing in when you mean on. The stupid ones, like spelling chuckle, chukkel or supposedly, supposubly. (Retard moment#2). I appeased them and corrected the printout and set it at the edge of my desk for them to pick up. (I'm not walking a printed e-mail anywhere) They came and looked at my corrections and said, "I didn’t want you to correct my spelling. I just wanted you to tell me if it made sense. Spell check will correct my spelling." (Retard moment #3) It was at that point I realized the devastation the invention of spell check has caused. Nobody uses their brain anymore. People have come to depend on their mistakes being fixed for them instead of learning from them. Maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine, but if you would rather depend on spell check to correct your mistakes rather than just learning how to spell a word, you need help.

For the record...'yah' is actually 'yeah' , 'alls', isn’t a word and its definitely not the plural of all - and if you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, walk to the back of the short bus and strap on that helmet, it's gonna be a long ride.

Sometimes I wonder....

1. Why does it take women so long to get out of the car after you've reached your destination?

2. Is there such thing as pre-historic wind?

3. How do you hit your hands on the back of the sink when washing them?

4. Is there a role Johnny Depp can't play brilliantly?

5. Why is Green Day still popular?

6. Who came up with the Tanuki?

7. Why do I know what the Tanuki is?

8. Why didnt I think of that?

9. Why are there two contradicting terms on U.S. Currency? (Novus Ordo Seclorum & E. Pluribus Unum)

10. Am I the only one who wonders this crap?
