Students these days will study anything, especially nonsense philosophy. I'm sorry your not interesting enough, maybe try a little harder Tongue

Some of them even study the differing semantics of homophones.

(I hate people who confuse “you’re” with “your”...

...their so dumb.)


My bad, thanks for pointing that out, have corrected my previous post. I actually hate making that mistake myself, as I'm fully aware of English grammer and (believe it or not) am a well qualified translator (french->english). But being partially dyslexic, I make this mistake too often, as I don't "proof read" my own writing enough.

I don't think it makes me "dumb" though, far from it. That's like calling someone who's physically disabled weak: it's an enormous stereotype. But then again, if you think the likes of Richard Branson, Walt Disney and Albert Einstein are simply "dumb" - then I really can't help you.

For reference sake, my partial dyslexia comes from having a foreign non-maternal language shoved down my throat that didn't agree with me*. I don't have dyslexic issues with French, only English, hence only being partial. Maybe try hating people who have (or have had) learning difficulties a bit less? Just a thought  Roll Eyes

*This was the 90s, in the UK, when bilingualism was generally discouraged and frowned upon

P.S., I escaped school early.  Perhaps that may be why I avoided such brain-damage

Good for you, I wasn't as fortunate. My disgust for the English language began during my cognitive development, which took me decades to overcome  Cry
