I stand out among many of my peers because engineers are notoriously poor writers. How pathetic have we become ... that now WRITERS can be notoriously poor writers?
[Nobody wants to drive across a bridge built to some Millennial engineer’s feelings about what won’t collapse.]

In Alberta dealing with people from Ontario and B.C.?
I would love to see her enter a Scrabble contest. Probably would get smacked down by the judge on every word spelling. MOMMY!!!!!!!!!
“tell the story she overheard ...”
So let’s get this straight. A “jounalist” we’ve never heard of before writes a whole article about a tweetstorm from a woman we’ve never heard of before, about a story she OVERHEARD about a millennial she never heard of before or since and that’s supposed to prove something about 40 million Americans.
Fail.
“So long as you choose to remain employed by this company, the only ‘P’ that can be found in ‘hamster’ is in its bladder. Please return to your desk, and resubmit your work with the corrections I’ve outlined. Otherwise, I will consider that you have voluntary severed your relationship with this company. Good day.”
I live near Hamden in Hampden county, near Hampton Ponds.
When someone tells me I misspelled one, I accept it as true and move on. No need to cry. I accept my spelling deficiencies like a boss.
Stuned with a bieber? That’s hugh and series.
This is the anti red pen and student edit generation.
Actually, it’s spelled dumbster!
“”This chick is a looser. (What? That’s the way it’s spelled at Free Republic!)””
Usually! I have been corrected by various people over the years - usually by co-workers on both spelling and pronunciation and I have never forgotten WHO did the correcting and I have never made the same mistake again.
THE “T” IN OFTEN is SILENT!
Don’t continue one sentence onto another page - called “dead man”.
And as usually happens with us old folks, I’ve forgotten the others but there were more.
Kind of symbolic we have not heard a word about that bridge collapse since the time it happened. I wonder why, sarcasm
They don’t begin correcting spelling until 3rd grade now. Maybe. Can’t hurt any feelings, ya know. So, they spell a word incorrectly for years,without correction, and it’s stuck in their wee little brain now.
Then, they get Blue Ribbons for participating and A’s for group projects they contributed squat to.
Thank you pubic school teachers. You are guilty of child abuse and endangerment. You have ruined another generation. Damn you pubic school teachers!
Tweets claim that woman overheard story about millennial crying after having her spelling corrected
But that would sound too much like the Onion so they compressed it a bit.
I lived there for two years...that is exactly what we called it. Couldn’t wait to leave.
that’s supposed to prove something about 40 million Americans.
No. It is supposed to illustrate something that many of us already know about all too many people.
And sell more copies of “Stop the world, I want to get off.”
What riles me is when I hear “T” pronounced in often, and now I am even hearing sof-TEN!
No, he just knows that the P ran down the hamster’s leg. Leaving the hamster without P. The P is now on newspaper, and by the sound of it, an article written by this adult. 8>)
>>>...There is no P in hamster.”
He’s obviously never owned one.................<<<
That there is funny...
Unless my ears deceived me, Alex Trebeck on JEOPARDY recently pronounced it with a “ta” in the middle. That’s been one of my pet peeves for decades.
