OMG, that was funny!

And, you're right Thor, my wife's a teacher, she knows all about "PC" in the school systems: "We need to be validating the child's sense of self-esteem!". God forbid that we should actually TEACH them anything!

Yes, we all know how a validated sense of self esteem provides the child for the corporate environment.

"Your work output is low, but your sense of self esteem is outstanding." Yeah, that'll fly...

I'll have to double check it, but I believe starting this year in Dallas, teachers are no longer allowed to fail anyone. If a student doesn't do a lick of work, they are still going to pass. Now what stupid self serving liberal came up with that idea? Where is the incentive to improve yourself? Just because your a minority or poor doesn't give you the right to be a lazy leech on the system because you feel getting an F on a paper is a blow to your self-esteem. I have an idea........GO HOME AND STUDY you dumbass.

Ok, I'm done with this thread. It's getting me all pissed off. :)
 
Me gradutated from Hi Skool and I dunnot thinx I no dumber than any of yoo other peeples? Me got deeploma so I must be smart.
There, I done used punk-shu-a-shun two.
 
I'll be perfectly honest with all of you... I meet people, every day....
teen's, young adults who don't have a clue when went on in school. One
of our cashiers didn't know what the word perforate meant. This young lady
graduated in 2007. I'm very surprised...

I hear you Charles, when I used to take tech support e-mails it was unbeleivable how ignorant people were. Unintelligable sentences, poor grammatical skills, etc...
Many times I had to e-mail back and either ask them to clarify or send a response with a in the form of a question asking if this is what they meant. Most times I felt like just sending "WTF are you talking about" but that would have lead to the unemployment line.
I think the younger generation relies to heavily on computerized spell checkers as well and let them modify thier sentences without verifying what the changes did to the original thought. Very bad thing to do if you are writting a Resume!!! Spell checker could loose you the chance at a job for just being lazy and not triple checking your work.

If you're relying upon spell and grammar checkers to construct your sentences, you probably don't deserve that job :lol:
 
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'

Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'

Operator: 'What sort of trouble?'

Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'

Operator: 'Went away?'

Caller: 'They disappeared'

Operator: 'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'

Caller: 'Nothing.'

Operator: 'Nothing?'

Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'

Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?'

Caller: 'How do I tell?'

Operator: 'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen?'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'

Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'

Caller: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'

Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator?'

Caller: 'What's a monitor?'

Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.
Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?'

Caller: 'I don't know.'

Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it.
Can you see that?'

Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'

Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.’

Caller: 'Yes, it is.'

Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables
Plugged into the back of it, not just one? '

Caller: 'No.'

Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'

Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'

Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'

Caller: 'I can't reach.'

Operator: 'OK. Well, can you see if it is?'

Caller: 'No.'

Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?'

Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.'

Operator: 'Dark?'

Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.'

Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'

Caller: 'I can't.'

Operator: 'No? Why not?'

Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'

Operator: 'A power ... A power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in?'

Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'

Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it.
Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'

Caller: 'Really? Is i t that bad?'

Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'

Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?'

Operator: 'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!'
