This is full of so much fail, it’s not even funny. This is the result of the governments lack of care for education. The MPs of today line their pockets with loads of money but the next generation of MPs is this student who can’t even spell “medium”. Our country is more f**ked than you could ever think.
A kid learns how to be politically correct and who grows up to be PM and allows black people to come into England and commit crime and let this scum stay because he fears being branded a racist will not help us as much as kid who learns to spell and does not fear from saying black people criminals are scum villians who need wiping off the floor and thus, deport the rubbish and help us build a society that sails somewhere within the confines of commonsense and peace.
It’s because you’re afraid of being racist that the world is in the toilet. Black people who commit crimes must be treated like the vile scum they are. I’m concentrating on black people because people like you fear being racist and so these vile scum get away with murder.
Of course I am not saying that, ANYONE who commits a crime is vile scum. Let me give you the example of why I am targeting black people. An illegal immigrant knocks down and kills a child, but he is not deported as he has a right to a family life, depite taking that childs right to a life and her fathers right to a family life. Somewhere in this case I bet a politically correct nutjob ahd something to say and was the reason behind this vile scums victory. That is how bad it is in England.
I’m just going to quit since everyone here is clearly too stupid to understand anything I’m saying. I am not targetting black people, I am targetting stupid people offended by racism. I’m guessing you are offended by racism so you are at loss.
I… I’m a pretty racist fellow, and I have to say it’s more a lack of education and responsibility. teaching restraint and mental balance from a young age can really help all of the people who cause a lot of crime.
Also, the white kids in the primarily-black community I live in cause about as much harm as the community as a whole, with their nazi graffiti and fire and gun violence. So you’re a moron.
Clearly the education system was much better when you went through it, none of that nonsense of political correctness and who gets to be PM, or spelling…
Spelling isn’t really that useful a skill anymore. Knowing to press the spell-check button on your computer, or at least enabling auto correct is. The difference is one type of lesson takes up hours and hours of time a student could be learning thinking skills and the other should only take a couple reminders. If you haven’t learned to use spell check on important documents by the time you are applying for college you have deeper problems than spelling.
Also, spelling skills don’t directly correlate to intelligence. Some brilliant people have been terrible spellers. Einstein, Churchill, Faulkner and a ton of other intellectual heavyweights were terrible spellers. I’ve met some great spellers who couldn’t figure out how to get out of a room if the exit sign was misspelled.
The problem is, spelling is very quantifiable, and we are taught that it is important. There are right or wrong answers, but as a useful job skill it’s not really worth spending much time on. There are of course, exceptions. Knowing the difference between the spelling of two different drugs with similar names is important to a pharmacist. Pharmacy might be a bad profession for a dyslexic. But teaching a kid to think critically can even fix that, whether it’s asking the patient what the drug is for or knowing it’s important to call the doctor and double check. The kind of education that creates good spellers actually doesn’t teach people how to think of new things, just how to do old things, which, unfortunately, becomes outdated very quickly, for instance, when someone invents spell check.
I was going to defend the poor dear because I have an Aspie kid with dyslexia who is actually very bright and understands what he is being taught, but simply has a very hard time with spelling. But then I saw she wanted to do an art project based on postsecret and now I don’t think she’s ready for college (or, indeed, life).
What grade are you in, if I may ask?
Wow, I feel like getting into my 6 year old’s head through yours, if that makes any sense….
Tell me anything, please.
HAppy to listen.
I JUST thought about how that could be construed! I meant it to ask because I am and if you had questions about growing up Aspie (or Aspie spectrum) you could ask there rather than here.
I use the same name there as here (well first name anyway). Just look for a white flower as a pic (it’s usually a bird of some sort, but there’s a flower theme going on)
(Very sorry if I’m breaking up the thread, here)
I’m 41 and learning to give him extra time/ space when he needs it. (Knowing why has helped a lot)
Very happy to meet you.
There are more of us here. Writing is one way to communicate that doesn’t require certain social skills (like the ability to read body language), so it works better sometimes.
There are a number of good books on the subject. I’m sure you’ve read a number of them. May I recommend a day camp for the summer months specifically for kids with similar issues? I didn’t know any other kids with problems like mine as a kid and it was isolating.
I’m not surprised.
I was calculating…as you are 36, we were kids around the same time and it was not very well known, as a diagnosis.
I would love a summer camp for him….but we’ll have to look else where. We’re far enough north in Québec that we have nothing for him. LAst summer, before knowing, we enrolled him in a half day summer camp and he just rotated around the group, like a satalite.
Books, yes, I have a few. On parenting an Asperger child, toilet training (I’m at a loss), an encyclopedia to all things Asperger, a few books where in the authors have the Syndrome.
It’s called potty training in one day, it’s a book! Just do what it says (be warned, you will need to get others involved in this- you’ll see what I mean when you look it up) and see how it works.
OK
By the way, I’ve been combing through pages and pages of Avis on Facebook.
To add to the fun, Avis is the french word for Alert. Like, Avis: looking for missing person so and so…
I have been trying different birds…
arg seriously? why awaiting moderation… was gonna say i have your potty training answer, and had a link to verydemotivational. its the first post on there at the moment
lol nah..the f..um one that comes before second post had a link, second one just said the name of the site…one of this network’s own sites… oh well 4 hours from now it’ll go thru…long after no one gives a crap
well what i was going to say was, there is current a post, possibly near the top of the page… on a site thats the opposite of motivated. has a super awesome toilet training device.
Ah yah, about as much fun as dyslexia for those on the high functioning end. I have massive bouts of total stupidity and people tend to think I’m screwing with them or stop remembering I have smart moments too.
I’m good at body language only on accident, my grandfather had a bad stroke when I was a year old and you had to learn body language and minimal facial expressions to understand what he was getting at.
Deer Mam or sir,
I am tryng to get into the Hi Skool advanced placement class for language arts. Please consider my aplicashun to enrole. I am a good student with good work habits. This class would be good for me to get into a good colage.
Thank you for your help,
Roxi
Yeah, and the above letter is a real letter that I recovered from an AP admissions program. It is real. Really.
Once upon a time a person could “nest” in a comment that was reaaaaaaaaaally far down the thread, if the conditions were right. It was a minor glitch in the comment set up. But there have been so many changes that that never happens anymore.
Yes, “choose” is a word, however it’s in the present tense while the sentence clearly is about a previous action. The correct word to use is “chose,” which is the past tense version.
I think the more important point isn’t whether or not this is for real, but that no-one challenges the credibility of it — that is, real or not, it certainly could be.
…Anybody else notice that his “progect” is to rip off the music video for The All American Rejects’ “Dirty Little Secret” single? Bad speller, AND unoriginal. Awesome.
Getting in to an honers college, thats umpossible.
Cross you eyes and tape your heels together three times and repeat:
“There’s no place like hone.”
LOL! That is great!!!

This is full of so much fail, it’s not even funny. This is the result of the governments lack of care for education. The MPs of today line their pockets with loads of money but the next generation of MPs is this student who can’t even spell “medium”. Our country is more f**ked than you could ever think.
Education isn’t about learning anything useful anymore, like spelling.
It’s about making everyone feel special and entitled.
Oh, and politically correct.
A kid learns how to be politically correct and who grows up to be PM and allows black people to come into England and commit crime and let this scum stay because he fears being branded a racist will not help us as much as kid who learns to spell and does not fear from saying black people criminals are scum villians who need wiping off the floor and thus, deport the rubbish and help us build a society that sails somewhere within the confines of commonsense and peace.
LOL. I was with you until that little tirade. Heil Hitler much?
It’s because you’re afraid of being racist that the world is in the toilet. Black people who commit crimes must be treated like the vile scum they are. I’m concentrating on black people because people like you fear being racist and so these vile scum get away with murder.
So…white people who commit crime are…ok? Just trying to understand your logic here.
Of course I am not saying that, ANYONE who commits a crime is vile scum. Let me give you the example of why I am targeting black people. An illegal immigrant knocks down and kills a child, but he is not deported as he has a right to a family life, depite taking that childs right to a life and her fathers right to a family life. Somewhere in this case I bet a politically correct nutjob ahd something to say and was the reason behind this vile scums victory. That is how bad it is in England.
i have nothing to ahd to this argument
Yeah, I’m thinking you’re gonna want to go ahead and cut down on the sugar coated cheese a little there.
lol … his isn’t the most dextrose mind
^ This is how you respond to these
That didn’t explain why you’re targeting black people.
He’s doing it because he’s either an idiot, or he’s trying to start a comments war. Which I suppose still makes him an idiot.
I’m just going to quit since everyone here is clearly too stupid to understand anything I’m saying. I am not targetting black people, I am targetting stupid people offended by racism. I’m guessing you are offended by racism so you are at loss.
What a terrible thing, to be offended by racism.
I understand what you are saying completely!. I’m with ya, cheese!
I… I’m a pretty racist fellow, and I have to say it’s more a lack of education and responsibility. teaching restraint and mental balance from a young age can really help all of the people who cause a lot of crime.

I can’t stress how much I agree with you.
So who programs the spell check?
I have to believe this is an elaborate troll; nobody can really be that ffng stupid and operate a mouse and keyboard.
luol!
Government’s. Though congratulations on getting “their” and “than” correct.
lol wow
tell me your secrets, i’ll sell them to the highest bidder
Zuckerberg? Is that you?
Sush, that’s a secret too.
Oh, good grief!
honer-fied
The person underlining the words missed “appriciate”. Double fail?
Missed one (at the end).
honed nitwit is hard too fine
Art degree fail. They’re not going very far anyways.
Not quite, more like “intelligence fail”.
Please post the rest of her email address.
Thank you.

I was going to defend the poor dear because I have an Aspie kid with dyslexia who is actually very bright and understands what he is being taught, but simply has a very hard time with spelling. But then I saw she wanted to do an art project based on postsecret and now I don’t think she’s ready for college (or, indeed, life).
Also she’s jewish !
Perhaps its a youth culture thing we as adults do not get?
They do re learn spelling with all the texting…. not saying that’s goot, though…
..good….
Lol… irony… you haz it.
I also have an Aspie!
Kindergarten so far…I hope spelling won’t be too hard later.
(Mostly social problems…)
I am on the Aspie spectrum. It’s been a b!tch to deal with.
What grade are you in, if I may ask?
Wow, I feel like getting into my 6 year old’s head through yours, if that makes any sense….
Tell me anything, please.
HAppy to listen.
Avis is a full-grown bird.
*nods*
*squeeze* I may be getting old, but I refuse to grow up!
*alsosqueeze*
I resemble that remark!
Great meeting you. too, S.G. Gracie!
Are you on Facebook?
I JUST thought about how that could be construed! I meant it to ask because I am and if you had questions about growing up Aspie (or Aspie spectrum) you could ask there rather than here.
I appreciate it.
I’m not offended or what not.
So, we have to reveal our names….
I use the same name there as here (well first name anyway). Just look for a white flower as a pic (it’s usually a bird of some sort, but there’s a flower theme going on)
I use the same name there as here, minus the great part. Think small birds and you’ll find me.
There’s only one Avis on Facebook ?
Oh, there are more, but the last name I use there is pretty easy to figure out.
Very good…..
I’m 36 years old, and had to learn a LOT of coping skills. If your kid takes a few extra steps to do something, let them. It’s how they understand it.
(Very sorry if I’m breaking up the thread, here)

Look up potty training in one day. I’m told it works. By my mother.
Oh, please tell me what she did…..
It’s called potty training in one day, it’s a book! Just do what it says (be warned, you will need to get others involved in this- you’ll see what I mean when you look it up) and see how it works.
OK.
Sounds exciting.
To Amazon I go.
Try google first, you may not need to BUY anything.
*mutters under breath about moderated words*
Try google before Amazon, you may not need to buy anything!
OK
By the way, I’ve been combing through pages and pages of Avis on Facebook.

i have your solution victo!
http://verydemotivational.memebase.com/2011/04/21/demotivational-posters-as-parents/#comments
arg seriously? why awaiting moderation… was gonna say i have your potty training answer, and had a link to verydemotivational. its the first post on there at the moment
Avis means bird. Think birds. And look for a white flower as a profile pic.
Will do!
well f u failblog..i didnt wanna make timely remarks anyway, i LIKE my comments being hours late! pshh..whateva! i do what i waaaant
omg seriously? the last two have to go thru moderation, thirds fine? ok…
Did you use the word that comes before “second”? ‘Cause that word trips up the filter.
Yes, big time!
(Avis, I ”found” you!)
lol nah..the f..um one that comes before second post had a link, second one just said the name of the site…one of this network’s own sites… oh well 4 hours from now it’ll go thru…long after no one gives a crap
Well send a message then!!
I’ll set my watch to ring 4 hours from now…
actually the second reply did have that word lol… hmm. btw, isnt this an amazingly long thread?
We rock !
Something about Failblog doesn’t like you to embed links to Failblog. Dunno why.
well what i was going to say was, there is current a post, possibly near the top of the page… on a site thats the opposite of motivated. has a super awesome toilet training device.
That thing is scary looking. The legstraps are the most disturbing part I think.
Thanks jaymze!
That looks astonishing
(My son is likely not going to share my opinion, though, but I like)
Oh, my G–!
I didn’t notice the leg straps
Skip my last post…
(I had liked the arm rest part..)
i know i wish i had some straps to hold me down after some epic drinking nights…or after mexican food
yeah that thing is scary as crap, i can’t imagine anyone actually using it on a kid
Perhaps they make the big boy model….
(It was the idea of strapping a small kid that was a concern)
My guess is it’s for kids with something like cerebral palsy, or brittle bone disease, something that could make danger of falling a real issue.
yeah i could see that. does anyone else find it odd were commenting on a different post on a different site?
Not really, but perhaps we should start a new thread as this one is getting difficult to navigate.
Ah yah, about as much fun as dyslexia for those on the high functioning end. I have massive bouts of total stupidity and people tend to think I’m screwing with them or stop remembering I have smart moments too.
I’m good at body language only on accident, my grandfather had a bad stroke when I was a year old and you had to learn body language and minimal facial expressions to understand what he was getting at.
You mean your kid is an illiterate and abrasive @$$hole.
“Asperger’s” is code for “immature jerk.”
Dyslexia? Yeah, I’m dyslexic….in Russian.
i gets it! he not spel so good! haha! what a maron!
I found one of those too. Just as funny:
Deer Mam or sir,
I am tryng to get into the Hi Skool advanced placement class for language arts. Please consider my aplicashun to enrole. I am a good student with good work habits. This class would be good for me to get into a good colage.
Thank you for your help,

Yeah, and the above letter is a real letter that I recovered from an AP admissions program. It is real. Really.
‘They’ are our future.
Selective sampling! YAY!
Thank you, 60 years of teecherz yoonyuns and “progressive” education.
The 2nd biggest fail is the spelling…the biggest fail is the inability to use a spell-checker (or Chrome – which has one built in)…
And how did she get “collage” and “college” right…
Firefox has a spell-checker built in too. In fact, it had one built-in before Chrome existed.
That was a hoax.
You missed “appriciate”…
Like, say, here maybe!
lol oh fine… i was enjoying scrolling up for three minutes to find the reply button
Once upon a time a person could “nest” in a comment that was reaaaaaaaaaally far down the thread, if the conditions were right. It was a minor glitch in the comment set up. But there have been so many changes that that never happens anymore.
”Snif” Progress, not always good.
Avis and jaymze, it was excellent spending so much time with you, both!!
I mean, what else are we doing with our time
lol well actually for me i’m about to go actually do semiproductive things, as i’m off work in about 2 mins, so you two have a good one!
I too have to leave … leave work, to go home and ”Mom” (now a verb.)
b00000ring
You missed ‘appriciate’
FAIL
this is probably fake, unless the red lines were edited in to show how many spelling errors there were. because “choose” is a word
Yes, “choose” is a word, however it’s in the present tense while the sentence clearly is about a previous action. The correct word to use is “chose,” which is the past tense version.
Yes, but browsers only correct spelling errors, not grammar errors. It’s not a Word processor, so it has no concept of correct grammar.
usually people who are atleast moderately smart don’t need a word processor to help them with every single word…poor guy …poor stupid stupid guy….
Definite troll
who spelling errors it
i could just imagine his card saying…
” Shh….don’t tell anyone but I’m secretly stupid……don’t even tell me”
I think the more important point isn’t whether or not this is for real, but that no-one challenges the credibility of it — that is, real or not, it certainly could be.
His project sounds a lot like that All-American Rejects video, “Dirty Little Secret”.
Oh. Because it is exactly like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPDcwjJ8pLg
That is atrocious spelling, but I’m here to point out that COMPLEAT is a real word.
I would say “was”, not “is”. My dictionary calls it an archaic spelling of “complete”.
…Anybody else notice that his “progect” is to rip off the music video for The All American Rejects’ “Dirty Little Secret” single? Bad speller, AND unoriginal. Awesome.
