Don, have you heard? The high schools are taking out analog clocks cuz their students can't read clocks that are not digitized! So instead of teaching the students... They are doing away with the clocks and bringing in digital ones. It's a sad sad time to be a student now a days. đ And those students get older leaving us with a bunch of spamburgers! Grrrrr
Does anyone else chafe on the rampant bad grammar and declarative statements posing as questions that have become commonplace on this site?
Yes, absolutely.
An amusing(?) parallel---I had severe allergies all my life. About 30 years ago I underwent immunotherapy (shots) over a 5 year period. I have essentially no allergies anymore.
Coincidentally I have been on these sites for about 5 years now. The grammar and statements I see no longer bother me as much as they did, but I still find them philosophically abhorrent to me.
And I would never seek "immunotherapy" to prevent that.
It makes me shutter!
Recently I went to doctor for my yearly check up. The dr asked me several questions, gave a string of words and different times she would ask me to repeat those words. Finally she handed me a blank piece of paper and a pencil. I looked at her and asked what do you want me to do ? She told me to draw a clock and make it 4:30. I just looked at her and said seriously? Yes she replied. I did it and asked her what they were going to do with the generation now when they get my age? She just shook her head and said I donât know and thank goodness I wonât be here.
