A sense of huemer. It's the only way to handle these thugs.

It ain't fare. You're right, the fare is $2.50.
What's with you people?
We're just the average collection of bonvivants and recreational killers, seduced by the anonymity of the internet to lash out at our betters, most notably Mensa members wearing spats.

Now, that's the spirit! Welcome to FR, BTW. We have fun here, and one of the things we find to be the most fun is to pummel each other for silly fumble-fingered typos.

It's not all meaningless at all.
Long ago - at LEAST 50 years ago, we stopped having public education. The shift was made to producing (global friendly, politically correct, anti-religious, liberal oriented, robots. This shift was made at the expense of education.
The founders warned of letting government control education - and we have arrived....

Face it, we’re a nation of dumbies. And once again, the whole thread is screwed because of a typo.
Absolutely hysterical!

If it were just a typo, he'd ask the mod to change it.
Some newbies are just trolls trying to make FR look bad.

The education industry has never been better or more successful. It succeeds at its real goals:
"All we want is less to do
More time to do it
And more money for not getting it done."

Where do you get your spats cleaned? I tried to do mine myself, and they shrank.

I constantly make typos. Someone has a tagline I love: Qwerty Ergo Typo - I type therefore I missppell.

Lose - loose
There - their - they're
Your - you're
Then and than get screwed up a lot as well.
These things bugs me but since I didn't attend college
i usually feel i have no room to criticize.
I did, however, come in second in the fourth grade spelling bee. ;o)
