Surely that has to be a joke. Tell me there aren't people that incredibly stupid walking around.

Scarily enough, this is better than at least half of the resumes I received when I placed ads looking for my kids' medical attendants.

No, SERIOUSLY. You would not believe the crap I got. Amazing.

And they wonder why they can't get a job. *shakes head*

What's even sadder was that a piece of professional journalism was circulated around our office earlier today. Three very short paragraphs and there were errors in every sentence!

It said "floods hammered the town" -wrong. Hammering is a repetitive action. Floods might overwhelm or swamp but they don't hammer. Then it said "the floods has done such and such" instead of "have done".

The next paragraph repeated 'hammered' (there are other words in the dictionary but the writer obviously didn't know any!) and the reference to the insurance was also incorrect and pretty meaningless. And that's a professional journalist!!

Doesn't it bother you a ridiculous amount when you're reading a book or an article and it so obviously has not been proofread by anyone with a clue (or perhaps anyone at ALL)?? It drives me up the wall. Standards are so lax these days, it makes me really sad. I anticipate the future to be bleak as people who grow up with spellcheck and little or no formal education in these matters become the ones overseeing production of print media.

I'm becoming quite a sour old lady about this stuff, but it just annoys me.

I agree. I read the grammar in newspaper articles or on web sites and it makes me want to cry.
