Take it seriously? I don’t even take me seriously… Ring Lardner has nothing to do with this drivel.

I’m so sorry. What part of “suck” don’t you get? The number of idiotic phrases used there is too vast. Tell Thomas to learn to read.

You are a bunch of fools. I have been posting on Bandwagon Boy’s message board for years. My son Thomas posts there as well.

To put it another way: have you geniuses never read Ring Lardner? There’s a long line of satire behind Bandwagon Boy. If you’ve really taken him seriously, it’s your own education you should be concerned about.

I believe that if you’re going to publish it, you should at least make it make sense. Some people’s kids, right?

As a Moderator on a 3D art site I really must agree. I spend most of my time restraining myself from correcting both the spelling an grammar of most of the American members. Oddly enough I find Europeans, whose first language is not English have better luck in both categories. I've found that if I'm unsure as to how a word is spelled a quick typing in Google will give me at very least the correct American English if not the King's English spelling, often I am urged to do this by the underlining of the word as I type. I sometimes ignore this as I'm Canadian and spell words like colour [underlined as I type] as opposed to dropping the 'u' as done in AmEng. I also proof read anything I type before I hit send, submit, or whatever, a good tip in and of itself if you're concerned with not looking like an idiot to the educated world at large.. ...
