What irks me about the whole thing is how she makes those two mistakes in the statement she makes.
The following statement is made boldly in a Gaian's profile: "I love kittens! And I am an A+ Student! yea your jelous! ok yea bye "
Apparently, grammar isn't in the curriculum at her school
My profile comment to her was as follows: "Please, for the love of English language and the sake of "A" students everywhere correct your statement: "I love kittens! And I am an A+ Student! yea your jelous! ok yea bye" It should be, "I love kittens! I am an A+ student! Yea, you're jealous! Okay, yea, bye." I know your "jelous" was corrected for you, but please can't you fix your use of "you are" too? Please? Trust me, it looks bad and detracts from your statement. Then again, maybe English isn't too big of a deal at your school."
Please note that she was corrected earlier by another Gaian for her misspelling.

That is quite astonishing to me to see that an "A" student would type that. o_O
Even I, an A student, would type out my statements and such correctly ( and try to in a medieval-ish fashion for some reason sweatdrop )
And sorry to bug you about this, but I'm pretty sure the word "yea" is actually "yeah". sweatdrop

Then there is the problem I never could figure out how to spell the word, because yeah isn't exactly a real word. sweatdrop I find myself typing out "yes" and "okay" to save me the trouble of getting involved in the debate.

I have a friend on gaia who keeps telling me that the word "yeah" is spelt as "yea", and she's a "txt tlkr". I have been trying to rid this friend, and she's off my friend list... however she won't stop PMing me on certain days. :/ Such debate destroys relationships for me ._.

Indeed, the whole problem of "yeah/yea" all stems from the ussage of a word that technically doesn't exist. Personally, I just let my "txt tlk" friends go within reason, as they are friends from real life, but I do point out their "txt tlk." Usually, I say somewhere in the first five minutes, "You do know that..." After that, they try to not drive me too bonkers with their "txt tlk."

Yeah, one of my friends was PMing me a bunch of "HOOPLAH!" in "txt tlk", and I threatened to send her off my friends list. Yet, she replied and said, (IN TEXT TALK!!!) "ok geez u dont hav to kick me off ur buddy list" But, I didn't, considering she is my best friend in real life since 3rd grade when I introduced her into anime and we both became anime freaks. (Our first anime was Azumanga Daioh, not too okay for 7 year olds.) xD

How can you boast about being an A student, and, in the same breath, prove yourself to have the IQ of a typical three year old?
Some things I will never understand.

Nicholas Kaze How can you boast about being an A student, and, in the same breath, prove yourself to have the IQ of a typical three year old? Some things I will never understand. There are MANY things more that can bring one into the perplexed state of ********. It's contradiction incarnate, an oxymoron brought to life, a piece of irony on two legs! Or in the terms of the educated commoners, a dumb intellectual.

Yes, but by using "dumb intellectual" you are still using an oxymoron to describe the irony; however, I do not see any other way to describe the irony of the girl's statement.

Maybe she's a 3 year old with letter grades, who said she was 13 to get a gaia account? =3
It could happen...

It could happen... True, but then again I don't think letter grades are necessarily the best indicator of intelligence. There are some people who don't worry about grades, and thus occasionally get the B, while sometimes those with all As are working like mad to get them and never have a real life.

My sister's friend would have smacked her with a dictionary, and forced her to read it all.

It really does not merit thinking about. Yes, sometimes letter grades are not an indication of intelligence, but for my money, if you're going to say 'I'm an A student' to make yourself sound smarter (whether true or not), you really should spell your sentence correctly. And use Grammar check.
Maybe she is really a three year old. Maybe this is all a conspiracy. It IS an oxymoron, and I do not feel up to the mental gymnastics it would take to figure it out.
If you need me, I shall be relaxing somewhere quiet with an alchoholic beverage. It's this thing I do when it's all too much. cheese_whine
