WTF?
Someone on my American History class forum just sent me an instant message asking me the outcome of the American Revolution, because she really didn't know and the second exam is tomorrow.
She was serious.
I didn't know whether to type "WTFIDIOT??" or "What does it look like, are we still under control of Britain?"
How does one (she's American and 21 years old, no excuse for that type of ignorance) get by life without learning this stuff? Are people really graduating high school without the basic knowledge that I picked up in elementary school? It's almost as bad as the time I was asked how to spell "communicate" by someone in the computer lab.
It boggles the mind!
Ps: If my brother does not stop snoring in exactly two minutes I'm going to kick him in the face. I have a history exam and a biology quiz tomorrow, not to mention I have to spend most of the day learning a Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello piece on flute for our band rehersal.
