Words

John Popko  by John Popko
Ok, so I'm going to bitch a little bit in this one. And hear me out because I'm sure that if you are an educated person you'll agree. There are only a few things in life that I really hate. I want to share with you one specifically, and it involves the spelling of words. I can't stand when people use the words you're and your in the wrong context. I hate it when people can't differentiate between their and there. I hate it so much that it's a turnoff if girls can't tell the difference. I've even gone as far as quizzing a girl when she and I first started dating. Yes, that's right. I sat her down, pushed a piece of paper and a pen in front of her and verbally gave her a sentence to write. Needless to say, she passed. Though we are not together to this day, I'm proud that she at least knows those differences. I mean come on, it's simply paying attention in the third grade. Is that really too much to ask?
