Very Small Rant


A rhetorical question:

Do they no longer teach spelling and grammar in schools?

I came across the following comment made by a student who read a particular poem for his/her English Lit class:

(paraphrased)

i can truely relate to this poem....i'm sure it is what X would of said to me if he could of.

This is to me the visual equivalent of nails scraping on a chalkboard.
 

Well, how many present day students would know what that is?
