There are 3 main reasons that people speak/write poorly:
1. Uneducated
2. Lazy
3. "frick the system/man" attitude

None of which beckon opportunity your way.

Rather than prepare these students for a professional career, they're just setting them up for failure by telling them they're never wrong.

Does this mean you can get points taken off of a paper for poor spelling and grammar?

Your feelings are important and that's the priority. Not facts and reality...that's for Nazis.

A single professor at the University of Washington-Tacoma said. Little different than "University of Washington declares". That's like Auburn University-Montgomery.

This just in to the CNN/MSNBC/CBS newsrooms:

Racism is racist! The scrolling ticker on the bottom of the screen is racist, the very pixels of the screen you are currently viewing are racist....film at 11.
