Damn... talk about a fall from grace. Anybody remember that this guy is serving two years in a U.S. Penitentiary?

As a side note, I had a surprisingly hard time spelling "penitentiary".

Spelling Mistakes Make Me Want to Screme
From my school DISTRICT'S WEBSITE... (our district is having early dismissal today, as are many other local school districts)
"Weather Alert / Due to the extream heat..."
ExtrEAM? What gie or gurl is responsible for spelling? Seriously, are people freakin illiterate these days? Or do people not proofread their own writing? Despite being good in math, I was an average English student (ok, I did take AP English, but I certainy didn't excel at it) and these blunders stand out to me. Any good writers must cringe at stuff like this.
If I make a spelling mistake on this blog... fine, less than 10 people will read it. But how can you mess up that bad on such simple spelling mistakes on a public document? The PLAQUE to the boys bathroom in my school building reads "BOY'S BATHROOM". Does it only belong to one boy? Some of the English teachers here bring their classes to the plaque to point out how common these mistakes are (or, maybe, the idiocy of the school).
