Illiterate
Does anyone find it ironic that nobody knows how to spell the word “illiterate”? Even I had to look it up in my comp’s dictionary just to put it in the title. Here’s the definition:
illiterate |i(l)ˈlitərit| adjective unable to read or write : his parents were illiterate. • [with submodifier ] ignorant in a particular subject or activity : the extent to which voters are politically illiterate. • uncultured or poorly educated : the ignorant, illiterate town council. See note at ignorant . • (esp. of a piece of writing) showing a lack of education, esp. an inability to read or write well. noun a person who is unable to read or write.
So there ya go. But I think it’s funny that nobody knows how to spell it. Even in forums, threads and posts people don’t know how to spell, let alone spell that word. I even make mistakes, I’m an english cop, but christ, even I have problems sometime. The problem is that not only does nobody know how to SPELL it, but they’re even too lazy to learn, OR look it up!
How freaking bad can things get? I only noticed this today too, when I misspelled something.
But that something was NOT the word ‘illiterate’.
