ahah and we drunk yelling "DETROIT WHAT"
i have to say i liked the black people better then the white people in detroit. the black people who worked at the hotel wore their uniform like they were fresh prince of belair going to a private school for the first time.
and they were much cooler and lenient. they helped me bring my booze up to the room for a beer. |

| I like Detroit for those 4 days while I'm there. The other 360 days a year I count my lucky stars I was not born there. |

| Silky Johnson |
| Yup no doubt. And what a noticeably depressing change from 2008 to 2009. |

Detroit is pretty much a ghost town now. I almost want to buy a house there just because you can find them for about a grand or so. |
You can get them for a lot less. Last I heard, the average price is about $7,000, with A LOT under that. |

Otis Mathis is president of the Detroit school board... he is also, somehow, a college graduate. The Detroit school system is the worst performing in the country, ranks at the bottom in literacy, and has a dropout rate of well over 60%.
Reading some of this fool's emails makes it understandable why:
and another...
and his rationale for why he should keep his job.... priceless:

Translated: Just because you're borderline illiterate doesn't mean that you too can't grow up to lead an educational institution! Look at me! |
I understood what he said. You never learn nutin. Maybe the level of analization of schooling is part of the reason people leave. Spelling is not the end all of education or communication. Up until the last couple centuries spelling and standardization was rather week. Simply because people don't think the way they spell. This is part of the reason America altered british spellings. Phonics are not a constant in language in relation to spelling. Also typos by inaccuracies in typing are fairly common. Personally I find error correctino to largely be a waste of time, if the conveyed meaning is still decernable. Sadly a handful of TA will reply to point out a typo just in spite rather than for substantiated reasons or incomprehensibility.
And no it doesn't mean I can't spell, it does mean I don't care enough to check and type often how I sound to myself rather than putting concentration into typing based upon word transforms. When doing transcription copying and typing is much easier. But when communicating in real time at a fast rate of typing, inaccuracies happen. It isn't an inability to spell it is a lack of concentration due to focus on spelling rather than conveying the word in sounding to the electronic medium. I don't focus on spelling when I type I type words.
You are just plain anal. If you don't get it ask for clarification. Your standards are too high for an informal web forum about trance music and parties.
Seplling don't demonstrate intelligence and educatoin - knowing does.
His comments make perfect ing sense.
It is a fact people can recognize words even if a majority of letters don't appear in order. You are the one who ain't thinking if you can't
understand what he said.
While in a formal setting I would expect checks and balances - a web forum ain't one of them. And frankly any email ain't one of them. Just like people can mispronounce words while delivering a speech. It don't mean they ain't educated, it just demonstrates humans arn't always perfect in communication. Big ing deal. It doesn't mean he can't do his job. |

I was gonna, unfortunately relations went south in the US for myself, and I opted to buy a boat instead of a house. A boat has a lot more liberty in asset control in a foreign country.
If you are in the coast buying a boat is an actual alternative to buying a house, if you are in a warm climate. |

| detroit was actually pretty nice in terms of being a really mellow city. Sadly I ran a stop sign when I accidently drove back accross the ambassador bridge when I took a left instead of a right when clearing canadian customs.. and that was all she wrote for travel to the US via land border. I had been driving straight for like 16 hours -- I drove from little rock to detroit that day and it was late at night.. very tired... got held up at the border.. and only made it as far as near London OPP station before I was unable to drive further due to exhaustion. (I wasn't confident in my ability to see while driving so I pulled over and drove the two hours the next day. |
