American Students Can’t Spell

Band­wagon Boy needs a refresher in Eng­lish, and needs to re-take every spelling test he ever failed. There’s this nifty lit­tle thing called a dic­tio­nary to which some­one (any­one, please?) should intro­duce him. I almost put this into the “Hor­ri­ble Design” cat­e­gory, but there really isn’t any design to speak of. There’s just lunatic rambling.

This guy missed every gram­mar les­son he had

The site is called Band­wag­onboy, and it hap­pens to be hosted on Angle­fire. I think that, as a rule, Angle­fire and other free host­ing ser­vices attract the crowd that will make sites like this. Is it a bad thing? It depends on whether or not those peo­ple are there to learn and improve their html skills. If not, the answer to that ques­tion is an emphatic, “YES it is bad”.

This is kind of like that pic­ture that you’ve most likely seen of the guys writ­ing “SHCOOL” on the road or the guy hold­ing the protest sign telling ille­gal immi­grants to learn to speak “are” lan­guage or go home. If you’re too stu­pid to spell “our” or “school” you need not be writ­ing signs protest­ing any­thing except your shoddy edu­ca­tion. This guy is most likely worse than the protester.

He writes such clas­sics as “That is where I put all my breaing news and insider incite now!”, and “This page is about my report­ing and incite into Sports and the best Inside cov­er­age of all the Mightyest Cham­pion Teams of Sports!”, and let’s not for­get “Unreal they dident put him on there or even Carmello Anthoney nei­ther!”. This guy needs to do two things, and fast. Firstly, buy the basic ref­er­ence mate­ri­als that we all know and love, such as a dic­tio­nary and a the­saurus. Sec­ondly, and most vitally, he must go to his schools, all of them, and per­son­ally slap each and every one of his teach­ers and admin­is­tra­tors, leav­ing none untouched. They failed him. They failed him in a big, fat and ugly way.

Pass­ing a kid like this on to the next grade should be a crime. It isn’t, but it should be. He clearly lacks a basic under­stand­ing of the lan­guage he pur­ports to speak. The fact that he writes like he most likely speaks is pretty telling of his focus in school. There wasn’t any.

Sug­ges­tion: If you read some­thing you have writ­ten, and it makes no sense when com­pared to any­thing else writ­ten by any­one else, stop writ­ing. Never write again, in fact. If you hap­pen to know that all of your friends are idiots and they under­stand what you’ve writ­ten, you too are an idiot.  Pack it in and run a hot dog cart.

Cheers!
