I don't think he is presenting himself as a .400 hitter, or expecting the applicants to be. He just thinks that they should know which end of the bat to hold.

Yeah, I know. It's still bad form to castigate others for making mistakes while you're making one in the process.

I do agree with him, though. I'm amazed at how so many people can't figure out the difference between "they're," "their," and "there."

Ugh! "Than" and "then"

"your" and "you're"

"ensure" and "insure"

"its" and "it's"

and the misspelling of "separate" all drive me absolutely crazy!!! On a pickier note, my husband often points out that most people do not know when to use "that" or "which", and that non-words like "irregardless" are so common now that they appear in some dictionaries.
