I know 4 yr olds that can spell better than that.


Why "old" (as in "an old drunk")?

Actually, I've a theory that the recent spate of illiterate postings
represent some coordinated trolling. I've zero evidence for this, but some
of the postings that have fallen into this category have just *begged* for
outraged - or at least concerned - responses.

You know the type:

Me be pilot now. Me wanna buzz friend's house. What
best place to rent for shortest checkout?

or such. Or perhaps it's just that I'm still sufficiently new at this that
I've trouble believing in pilots being so illiterate.
