In effect, "Don't go to college, and your stupid."

It might even leave you confused about about the difference between "your" and "you're."

Sorry...that one GLARED, though...

Your - Belongs to you.

You're - Contraction - You are.

Hey, Kerry went to college [where he was stupid] and he's still stupid. [I really do think he was taking a jab at the POTUS and not the troops. He's just too stupid to be able to make his point. Of course, the point he intended to make was also stupid.]

If sKerry feels that way about the military in Iraq; can you imagine how he feels about subcontractors in Mesopatamia?

I know the difference, nonetheless I still use the incorrect usage too often...

I unfortunately drop words from a sentence and when I read the sentence back to myself I still "see" the missing words - so I don't fix them. Only when I come back after a minute or two does the misuse or missing word stand out.

So either I comment with my faults or I don't comment at all. So I don't judge others too harshly on that front...

...as did the subject-verb disagreement in the first sentence, and the discouraged spelling of "forgo"...

Yep. It's a mistake I make often, but in this case, coming from a journalist who earns a living by writing, it's inexcusable, even more so when the article is about stupid people who don't go to collage.

John (f(ing) Kerry is living, walking and talking proof that his statement is so very untrue.

Look at Kerry, he went to the finest schools money could buy, groomed by the best groomers elitists use to refine their brats,

but he's still an idiot.
