Who thinks SOE should put up some kind of filter to stop (or at least slow) the r@pe of the English language on the forums? Would it be that hard to filter out 1337 speak and horrible short hand the same way they do profanity?
We all make mistakes while typing, but come on - It seems like no one is even trying.
The English teachers of some of these people should be arrested and tried for contributing to the overall stupidity of this country.
It's not their English teachers' fault. In fact, you should hear some of the horror stories I've heard from teachers who encounter this on a daily basis.
I say let anyone post on these boards anyway they like. I like "leet speech" for the same reason I like expensive watches and $3000 suits. It lets me recognize an assh*le before they start talking.
BTW, I appreciate the sarcasm of the title.
My wife teaches elementary school... If you really want to know who should be arrested, it's the parents.
Teachers get blamed for a lot, but the best students, with some exceptions, are more often than not the ones with heavy parental involvement. Something as simple as reading with your child goes a long way towards their academic achievement.
Then again, my mom never read with me.

*looks next to him* So far, that plan of yours aint working too well.
As a side note, the thread about an IQ test showed the average smuggler who decided to post had an IQ of 130+. This means we'd have to kill off 95% of the population just to be left with people as smart as we think we are

Is "retardism" even a word? And a 130 IQ on a self-given-on-the-'net IQ test?

What really worries me is that back in High School, my IQ tested at 168. Now it's down to 133. I've gotten more stupid with age.
Take a lesson from this, kids. Drugs are bad, mmkay?

They scale the number based on age. If I say I'm 8 I have an IQ of over 200
