Thought North Carolina was further north than South Dakota.

Also, the inability to name all the US states that border the pacific ocean.

Lots of geography stuff.



You thought NC was further north than North Dakota?

You couldn't name all the states bordering the Pacific Ocean? That's like three states, man.

Also Mouton could never get "advice" right. Like he'd always spell it "need some advise." After a few of us noticed he made this mistake consistently, I think it was Stout that finally told him he was retarded, and you could just tell that he was fricking baffled that he'd been spelling that word so wrong.

IIRC he even tried to argue with us about it being the right way.

I found out that my sister-in-law was unaware that to control how much Tony Chachere's you want you only open it to one or two dots.
She's born, raised, and currently living in south LA and her whole life had been opening Tony's all the way and trying to control how much comes out


That has nothing to do with Tony Cs and everything to do with intelligence and common sense.

Apparently I date stupid women.

One girl, an Auburn graduate, thought Alaska was an island because of the way it is sometimes portrayed on a map of the U.S.

Another girl I dated while at Georgia put laundry detergent in the dryer because she had never done laundry before. This same girl made canned Pillsbury biscuits and called home all excited because she had made biscuits "from scratch."

When a lot of people I know say "for all intensive purposes." Makes me crack up everytime and they don't even know what I'm laughing about.

It's "for all intents and purposes" just for the record.

RIGHT!? Also, there are A LOT of people on this site that use advise instead of advice but WAY more that use loose instead of lose. Drives me up the wall! Its goddamn ridiculous, which half of the site spells rediculous!

I'm sorry but this is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I feel like this is a recent epidemic where the majority of this fricking country has forgotten how to spell the word "lose". It was not always like this.

Because of the prevalence of GPS, very few people can read a map.

I saw someone put a belt on the opposite way than I always do and was like "hey you're putting your belt on backwards." He looked at me weird and I had a sudden realization that belts can go around either way

I hope not! Also, a ton of people on here say "heroine" in drug threads. I know that isn't as bad but its still retarded and means they don't read.
