Okay, so Marissa started drivers’ education last Friday. It’s a bit of a strange feeling to know that she’s being taught the basics of how to drive. I find myself thinking, “Why does she need drivers’ training so soon? That’s just silliness.” But…well…I guess it’s not too soon, even though she’s not getting her license until I feel she is ready, or until she turns 18, which ever comes first. As of now, she doesn’t pay attention to her surroundings enough to be licensed. We’ll see if that changes.
I started classes a couple weeks ago. It’s a nice feeling to know that I am done with freakin’ ICC. Damn. It’s a nice Jr. college, but I felt like I was never going to finish. And…at the risk of sounding like a bitch (go figure that I would risk that, huh?), I’m incredibly glad that, even though some of the students in my class are still dumb asses, the majority of them are, at least, literate dumb asses that can form their dumb ass opinions in complete sentences using proper grammar.
This next statement is for any one reading this whose grammar and grasp of the written English language is poor. It doesn’t matter what you write – an email, a research paper, a blog, etc.; you might have even written the most profound statement in the course of mankind. If you can’t, at least, form a complete sentence, your statement is not that profound because no one wants to sit around and try to figure out what the fuck you just wrote. If you don’t have a basic knowledge of the language you speak or you are just to damn lazy and inconsiderate to care that other people have to actually read what you write, why should anyone bother to try to decipher it? Why should the reader care about your sloppy statement if you don’t care about how you present it to us, you dumb ass?
Attention, people! USE SPELL CHECK! In case some of you are confused, this handy little tool is used to check our spelling when typing in certain programs. This is why it is called Spell Check – check spelling, get it? Clever, isn’t it? It was added to our computer programs to help us, and it has unlimited access. There is no cap on the number of times you can use it…so use it generously! Spell Check for all!! Although it doesn’t catch everything, at least it helps, and let’s face it, some of you need as much help as you can get. (I actually know people who have disabled Spell Check because it’s too much of a hassle to correct all their mistakes. That’s just plain sad…really, it is.)
So anyway…I’m very happy that my classes are now filled with postings from more articulate dumb asses than the incoherent, illegible crap I had to wade through at ICC.
