People these days do not know how to spell. I live in Michigan and the govenor saw a sign at a job fair. The sign said, " Jobs today work tommorow." The wierd thing was Tomorrow was spelled incorrectly. I laughed so hard, I said to myself, well it shows you they hire anyone these days. This person must have not completed high school. The situation about the dude on the news, I feel that was wrong, I knew college students were being treated wrong. The dude just asked a simple question and he got tasered. Foolish humans, they don't know when to learn. (refereing to cops) Good thing they got suspended.

.........I'm from Michigan. Please don't insult me. Your spelling needs work, too.

Misspelled words:

governor (you wrote: govenor)
weird (you wrote: wierd)
referring (you wrote: refereing)

Also, your grammar is in need of a little fine-tuning. Examples:

"I live in Michigan and the governor saw a sign at a job fair."
-These thoughts are separate. Either separate the sentences or, at the very least, add in a comma before and.

"I laughed so hard, I said to myself, well it shows you they hire anyone these days."
-Errors: run-on sentence and comma use.

"...learn. (referring to cops) Good..."
-Parentheses are meant to be within punctuation and do not begin sentences.

Sorry if this seems harsh, but I'm an English teacher now. I work at the college I attend (no, I don't have a Ph.D yet) and have to grade my students on grammar and spelling, as well as content. Keep working on your writing!

I can't see the full page. I support good grammar, but if you are vandalizing, then I don't. I mean if it is a public thing, like that "Shcool" thing, then you could at least notify an official or something.

I think that people who can't spell out "you're" should not be able to get a job. That mistake is so annoying when they spell "your" instead of added the "re" and the apostrophe.

I don't think she should go around vandalizing the smaller mistakes, but maybe some of the larger ones, like the picture with 'shcool'. I do love that picture.
