| Well, yes I agree that knowing how to print legibly (even if it takes a while) and write out basic words is important. My problem isn't with that. My problem is when the spelling tests make sure you know how to spell words like eponymous, xylophone, or incongruity. Those are words you are never goi... |

| There is no proven correlation between botting in Runescape and stolen credit cards. I agree with everything that came before that statement though.
