I bet whoever put that up is a closet Bionicle fan.

I think if we're going to post our opinions somewhere, it ought to be here
on Lugnet. (that way we can flame them if we don't like them ;-)

And the least they could do is run it through a spell checker (or just learn
to spell).

   <sarcasm>
   For shame!  That's TOTAL LANGUAGE LEARNING, don't you know?
   That's where it's about phonics and not about spelling or grammar.
   Grammar, pah, it's so passé--only people with NO LIVES care about
   others' grammar and spelling!
   </sarcasm>

   All that obvious sarcasm completely aside, my hope is that it's
   just a kid who doesn't know any better, whose parents aren't like mine
   were (the donkey/bottom slang and the c-word in question were totally
   unacceptable, only 16 years ago), and who will figure out one day that
   people won't take their opinions seriously unless they're presented well.

   (Phew!  What a run-on sentence *that* was...and don't even start in on
   my paragraph structure, please.)

   LFB (who just finished 60 college midterms, one of which kept spelling
        "United States" as "United Sates"...and many worse things)
