Ah... but you were questioning the entire student body's intelligence based on one person's flyer... or were you questioning the student body for allowing a flyer like that to be posted? And aren't you part of the student body you were poking at?

I'm an English major, and I think I'm violating rule number five in the English Majors' Golden Book Of Pretentious Rules when I say that I don't really care if someone has perfect grammar/spelling/punctuation skills. However, in defense of good grammar/spelling/punctuation skills, I will say that if you have something important to get across, even if it is in a forum, proof what you've written because mechanical errors can detract from your message, making what you said very easy to dismiss.

p.s. If there are any mechanical errors in this post, I'm claiming full rights of my concentration in creative writing to declare: Poetic License! Seriously, it's rule number eleven in the EMGBOPR.
