They are even considering removing punctuation such as apostrophes from being taught or enforced because some people recently surveyed didn't know how to use them! How mad is that! They shouldn't be pandering to the lower end of the intellectual spectrum. Next they won't be teaching kids how to read at this rate!

WHAT! No punctuation?! Wow if that happens, I can then definitely speak down to the younger generations when I'm old. That is the single stupidest thing I've heard

At this rate the world could end up like that film. What was it called? The one where those two American soldiers volunteer to be frozen, and then their chambers are forgotten about and stored away. And they eventually wake up 100's of years into the future where no one has a clue about anything and the buildings are held up be giant elastic bands. The film ends with them in the white house running the world.

Umm, no. However that was very useful, because at the bottom of that film's page was a recommendation for the film I was thinking about, Idiocracy.

BTW, it is a crap film!
