Seriously? How is this even remotely a good idea? Is it *that* hard to teach and learn and maintain basic societal standards? Mr. Smith, our grammar-laden Latin teacher, is rolling over in his grave right now, and this is the type of sh*t that makes us want to join him.

And boy oh boy do we ever want to drop-kick the reporter who wrote this: Americans doen't aulwaez go for whut's eezy — witnes th faeluer of th metric sistem to cach on. But propoenents of simpler speling noet that a smatering of aulterd spelingz hav maed th leep into evrydae ues.

We quit. Not even a move to Canadia will help us now.
