 		 #169093 - To (sic) bad
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Chris Bertrand said:
your (sic) an older person, I get it now. I'm not that old, so I guess I was raised a bit different, don't like it? To (sic) bad.

It's a sad reflection on both the US and UK education systems that so many today really don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" or "to" and "too", etc.

Still, it's better that "ur" and "2"...

I guess the majority of posters hear are not native English speakers, but many of them write better English than those who should know better...
