Your typing is awful. Your spelling is very poor; did you know Free Republic has a spell check function? You either have no concept of homophones, or you're just playing "homophonia" to amuse us; King Prout is much better at it.

May we deduce that you're a graduate of a fine, government school, as are most Americans ... those folks who don't know what the Spanish Armada was?

Hey, knock off the anti-Americanisms. We do too know what the Spanish Armada was. I just don't like to dance. But if I must dance, I prefer the Brazilian Lambada.

Yea that was some pitiful typing but my boss wanted me in his office so i had to split.

Yea I'm a grad of a public school. Yes I am terrible at spelling but thats a symptom of my dyslexia (might i add how ironic its so hard to spell), however thats not an excuse. I could honestly spell the same word three times in one paper. Thank god for Windows Office and its spell check or i couldn't pass a class.

However I'm a graduate of a public school who does very well in an electrical engineering program in a top 5 university for elect. engineering. So the schools must have done something right.

LOL! You are braver than I. I thought about saying the same thing, but decided against it. I'm too tired, lol.

Your last sentence is a huge insult to the men fighting in Iraq. I would estimate that 95%+ are graduates of public schools. It is a silly myth that is very popular here that public schools are so terrible. They are one of the reasons America is the most powerful nation in the world.

How is it that foreign kids can come here, go to public schools and suceed?
