let’s see what your little survey taught us.
You showed your coworkers this phrase. Good start, you got your data. You observed that most of them did not “catch” the word “future”. We can therefore set the normal (average) as “not observed”.
You then drew the following conclusions 1) “we are damn smart” OR 2) “we are normal” AND therefore 3)”the rest is non observant” OR 4) “the rest are morons”.

Now let me draw my conclusions: you set yourself as being normal (2), but your data suggest the opposite. Most of us would agree this is NOT very “damn smart” , and therefore (1) cannot be true because: one person (namely you) out of the people that did observe the word future is not very “damn smart”. We can extend that and assume safely that the people who did observe the word “future” do not share smartness as their common characteristic (thanks to you). Therefore we can let (4) also go since there is no evidence supporting the opposite. This leaves us with (3) and I have to agree that it is a valid conclusion. Randomly drawn I suspect, but still valid. Congrats.

Strange.

She made it to college all thanks to her back on the bed, I guess….

You guys should realize that she’s probably not on a scholarship. She’s paying for it. If she fails her money stays with the college so smarter kids can benefit off of it. I’d also like to point out that when you see a word spelled wrong so many times you might start second guessing yourself every time you write it. I almost always pause when writing ‘until’ or ‘control’.

My point is that Kirsten is just as old and just as accurate (if not more so considering gender) than Kristen. It is the arrogance of English speaking nations that considers it otherwise.

And no my name isn’t Kirsten, Kristen, Kristin or Kirstin.

I think a basic spelling test should be administered to any hopeful student. I’m constantly amazed by “alot”, “definately”, “seperate” and “untill”. If you’re a senior in high school and you don’t know these words, you don’t deserve to go to college.

Git it, kthx
