Yeah, you're right.

She's flaming my mailbox right now and telling me how she has a 4.0 GPA and that I have no life and to go get one and not nit pick on her.

I wrote her a private reply in where I offered advice that it might help her to seem more credible if she would just polish her grammer, punctuation and sentence structure. It was offered earlier on another thread as kindly advice.

I find it odd that this 33 year old college student who says she maintains a 4.0 GPA cannot even write a sentence.

I'm taking heat on this from numerous people. I didn't even graduate from high school. I dropped out, took a G.E.D. and joined the U.S. Navy. I was assigned to gunboats on Vietnam's rivers and I am a disabled combat veteran. I went back to school later in life and I studied and learned (and continue to learn) English. I've worked hard all my life, harder than I had to if I had just paid attention to my studies.

People want to take me on...I say bring it on and be as vicious as you want. You're not going to make me cry into my pillow and kick up my heels.

Talk to college graduates and their professors, read their textbooks, and then ask general questions. Pathetic as it is, the norm is just above elementary school and just below high school compared to the time I went to school. If I ever needed to seek employment, one of the highlights of my vita would be that I was educated in the 50s and 60s before the standards were really degraded.
