My Mood:  | | | Dumbing Down America
By: Logan Murphy on Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 at 8:30 PM - PDT    Play or  Play
Only on Fox & Friends. This morning they did a segment on the English language and that there are a lot of words that many people find difficult to spell correctly. I stopped on monkey. I’m including video to complement the comedic irony.
Steve Doocy says that another word many find difficult to spell is the word sol dier, because the “i” throws people off. The former beauty queen then pipes up and says — “Well, the D. There’s no D in it.” She follows that up by asking if they even make “hardcore” dictionaries anymore.
Be sure to hang on (if you can make it) for the finale as Doocy decries:
“So many people are trying to dumb down America and the world! Just leave it the way it is! Study your books, people!”

Are you kidding me? "Monkey" is too hard to spell? PG is going to have a field day with this when she gets home.

I hope the people who can't spell soldier never have to have a gastroduodenostomy. Their heads might explode. | | The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to Pythoness For This Useful Post: | |

If there was no "i" in 'soldier' - It would be 'solder'.. Which is a word.. It might be hard for some people to spell because of the "L".. 'Solder' without and "L" is "soder".. That's what I'm drinking right now.....Diet Coke to be exact...... This isn't news - I've been dumbing down for 30 years now....
