Kids Today

[iluvtofly 0]

Ok...yes I know that I'm only 24 so most would consider me a kid but still. My 19 year old co-worker (who Thank God is quitting in a week or so) is so dumb it's not even funny. I know everyone has their moments or as I call them, "brain farts" but with this girl it's constant. She just asked me if there was a difference in spelling no as in, "No I can't do something." and know as in "I know that". OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the same girl who doesn't know how to spell college (she spells is collage) and yet she's been applying to colleges.

Is this 19 year old kid right out of High-School? Still living with mom & Pop? Any experience behind her tail?

She's been out of high school for a year...moved out of mom and dad's house a few months ago but lives with a friend and her parents who don't charge her rent and her parents still pay most of her bills for her.

Yes she insists on complaining every day about how much her life sucks and how she has no money.

(Please excuse the ranting...this girl really bothers me and the whole no vs know thing just really irked me.)

we're no all ditzy..i think every generation has a couple of "mental delinquents. I'm 18 but hey i have my moments.

Me: I want to ride a bull out of a skyvan.
vegasjoe: How the hell are you going to land that thing?
Me: Who said anything about landed with it? I think after we'll have some Bar-B-Que.

There be lots of them out there these days.

You should be forward with her though and if she asks such a stupid question as no vs know tell her that it's not something hard to figure out. Ask if she had trouble in school. Tell her the question is flawed logically and why would she ask such a question.

She is old enough to not be guided by the hand anymore. The sooner she learns that the better.

Spelling is no longer a mark of intelligence or perfectionism in the first world. Most students and workers use computers, and they have spell-checkers built-in.

But hey, a lot of great physicists are really bad at basic math, right? Maybe she's just that smart

Is she dumb in other ways or is it just the spelling?
I am horribly dyslexic and have a really hard time with spelling and grammar as most of the people on DZ.com probably know from reading my posts. I'm so bad I can barely spell my own name and could probably keep all you guys really entertained if I didn't use spell check I know I'm not dumb though. Since I could use my computer and spell check I passed most of my high school and collage classes with an A and even got my pilots license. Ask me about something science related and I can probably give you a correct answer, just don't ask me to spell anything or write grammatically correct sentences every time.

So I Guess I'm saying If she shows up to work late or is totally incompetent get pissed as hell at her but, if she just can't spell to save her life tell her it interrupts your work when she asks you how to spell something so she should just use spell check

She's an all around idiot. Constantly late, not all that good at her job. Let me just say, I don't know 1 person who is upset about her quitting...even despite the fact that we're already extremely short handed.

Eye halve a spelling chequer

It came with my pea sea

It plainly marques four my revue

Miss steaks eye kin knot sea

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say

Weather eye am wrong oar write

It shows me strait a weigh

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long

And eye can put the error rite

Its rare lea ever wrong

Eye have run this poem threw it

I am shore your pleased two no

Its letter perfect awl the weigh

My chequer tolled me sew

No. Even though she doesn't live at home any more her mom still cooks for her and brings it into work for her.

I agree. I have friends who still have brothers in high school and I see them do stupid shit and say stupid shit and I'm like what is wrong with kids these days. Not to mention we are the 'entitlement' generation. Everybody thinks that they are entitled to everything.

Girls don't have to be smart, but they need to be able to cook to make it in this world.

That's right! Let's cut the crap and get down to the meat of it. Priorities, man. Priorities!

My reality and yours are quite different.

Spelling and context are two different things

Here's a fun exercise. Imagine that you are currently reviewing a software product to determine best fit for a company. Here is a link to the list of features that this product offers:

Mail Order Manager

Now, keep in mind, this is a real product, for sale, and this page contains information that is supposed to help you decide to purchase this product.

I count six spelling errors on this page, including one title (in bold). Why should you believe this is a good product when the employees of the company:

1. Can't spell
2. Are too lazy to press the "spell-check" button
3. Probably think that you, the sales opportunity, are incapable of reading past the first paragraph, anyway.
