Default WTF with high school education.

It seems like every thread has high school or college kids using terrible grammar.

That's fine.

There is also terrible spelling.

That's fine.

But the thing that I'm about is the complete misuse of words. Like BREAK vs. BRAKE. Or HEAL vs. HEEL.

It's not laziness, since the number of characters is the same. Is it really just lack of vocabulary? Can you really get out of high school or be in college and not know the difference between BRAKING and BREAKING?

Just my of the day. Carry on.

You try to use proper grammar, perhaps?

I actually understand this; sometimes in an effort to go fourth with fool speed, their our problems with they're grammar.

Though I typically try to check it first.

That being said... whoever desired a Spell/Grammar Checker... Get Firefox.
