Protest


Correction(s)

I have to admit I'm taking your reply out of context; I just stumbled across it. I do agree with your opinion. The American school system is a disgrace, along with many others, but your little rant was just about the lamest piece attempt at outrage I've ever seen. Your point may be valid, but you totally ruined it by misspelling a word and using incorrect punctuation. Your rant should have read

"I will say one thing for the woman; she sure knows how to spell a hell of a lot better than ANY vet I've run across so far. God! Did any of you go to school? You are absolutely the most uneducated bunch I've seen. The american school system is a disgrace."

You'll notice instead of a comma in the first sentence, there's now a semi-colon. This connects the two ideas much more easily, as you had no sub-ordinating conjunction like for to link them. I fixed your "alot" to the correct a lot, as they are two seperate words when you use it like that. The only time you use alot is when you alot someone something. I changed your period to a question mark when you asked a question. A question is not a statement, even if it's a rhetorical question as yours was. You still need a question mark to end it. Also, you may want to take note of the fact that when you're typing, there are two spaces after every period, not one as you had.

As I said, I agree with you. But next time, cover your own ass when you decide to call someone else's errors. I came through the Canadian school system, by the way.
