I don't know how we can expect better from a generation who have made the phase "went missing" a popular replacement for the simple word "disappeared." And who say "orienTAted" instead of "oriented."

Oh, I knew the post was satire...I just get really annoyed at people who are always leaping up to “correct” somebody’s grammar or spelling and I felt like venting a bit!

The problem is that you can’t get the self-appointed copy editors to knock it off without starting a flame war, so I never say anything on the threads where some busy bee is going about correcting everybody else. I think it’s the nature of the editorial personality...
