Don’t Tell Me How to Spell Hampster! Young Woman Freaks on Boss

When the boss corrects her misspelling, a young woman freaks, insisting she always spells hamster with a ‘p’. When the boss offers the dictionary, her subordinate calls her mother to press her case for a woman’s right to choose how to spell ‘hampster’. Outside of mental illness, how does one explain such phenomena?

This is what happens when everyone gets a trophy just for participating. No right or wrong, no win or lose. Simply participate and you get rewarded.

This situation exactly describes the left’s problem. Living in a false reality. Even something as simple as the spelling of a word. If you confront them with reality they lose their minds. Ayn Rand had it right about the fog filled blind alleys. Hopefully someday they’ll embrace reality.

Such FOOLISHNESS or let me be a little bit more harsh with “Stupid is STUPID” because I “feel” this way, is that for the young today all their lives they have been given the Green light for everything and engaging in any type of activity one should automatically get a Participation Trophy just because it will be “good” for everybody participating.

The INSANITY of the Left/Progressive/Modern Liberal/Demoratic Socialist (OXYMORON) is in 6th gear and 150 MPH.

Representative Theory of Perception
This is the theory, in philosophy, that when one perceives an object, the immediate object of one’s awareness is a sensory experience which represents the object.

Also known as a deception by normal-thinking people.

In the closing Steve remarks on the study that says Mills work well as a team. But they need handholding if you ask them to do any task by themselves. I submit this is the purposfull crippling of the American Individualism. In school now, if I understand correctly, they learn to group think. But have no ability to make independent decisions about anything. This will keep them in check and under control as they can’t think outside of any box the state might want to put them in.

If we get to the point in this country where we are forced to forge to survive, as Bill has described it we are roasting rats over a fire made of burning tires for dinner, things are going to deteriorate very quickly. I give a solid 60 to 70 percent of the current population less than 30 days to survive. Because just because you feel like someone should be providing your food, water and shelter, wont make it happen.

If the supermarkets are empty to where we are roasting rats, I’d give most people 3 days, not 30. So many don’t really know how to cook that the fact you have to catch and *gasp* kill Bambi in order to have the meat to cook doesn’t factor in.

I once worked in the communications department of a nonprofit. My boss thought I might be stressed over having too many projects, and that I should arrange for an intern. It wasn’t offered as an option. I was given a stack of résumés and, after rejecting all that contained spelling errors, I called the “winners” in for interviews. After explaining that much of the job would require making travel/hotel arrangements for important donors, I asked each to spell “accommodation.” I even gave each applicant a piece of paper to write on.

I may have set the bar a little too high…but hamster?

P.S. I lost a 2nd grade spelling bee when I added an extra syllable to bananana. My disappointment and shame still sting.

I try to keep my spelling errors to a minimum and lately almost all are due to “Auto-Uncorrect.”

Some, in the younger generations, literally insist on be allowed to misspell words as they like.

My “favorite” misspelling, that I see all the time, is to write prolly for probably. That is so wrong, just plain lazy. 🙂

It’s not a spelling error per se, but the one that annoys me is ‘for all intensive purposes’
