You know, I overlook a lot of grammatical errors, and I usually don't like to be that guy, but when it's an "oh look how smart I am" type post I can't help myself. It should be waste of time, not waist.
2. A lot of brilliant people much smarter than you and me have trouble with spelling. It doesn't take away from their ability in other areas.
3. Hate to be that guy :) but it's not a grammatical error
I assume it was "work" and that‘s the joke :p
I am curious if there is a name for this situation where someone corrects others’ grammar and then make a grammar mistake themselves?
I think I will start calling it Pontificator's Law. Let's see if it sticks.
I was trying to point out actually how simple it was to be better that what the schools were sending home.
Can't wait for sentence level autocorrect to appear. Because doing it at word level is not enough.
I mean, ok, swipe typing has been a great improvement. But depending on the keyboard it manages to do stupid crap even at word level (like suggesting a 8 letter word if you just "typed" 3 letters)
They were bragging that primary school is mostly busy work while ironically making a primary school mistake.
If OP's homeschooled kids were the ones denigrating public school while making spelling/grammatical errors then it'd be ironic.
Anyway English is an ugly hack of a language, the more we mispell it, the better chance we have to get it fixed to something closer to Esperanto.
