| 2nd August 2011: And Then People Ask Why I Am Against Mainstream Education... I have four examples of how downright pig thick people are at the moment. You are exempt if you're reading this blog, because you're obviously educated and with good taste, but I digress. First up, I know my spelling is sometimes off kilter, but honestly - "Experienced Nail Tecnition Required". Lord. Where to begin. So you can spell experienced, but not technician? Also, if you can't spell part of your job title, why would I let you anywhere near my hands? And what message are you sending to prospective employees/clients? This said, someone in The Store, someone high up, thinks that people who spend money in The Store are called Costomors. Then we had girls in last night who...just ugh. First of all I heard them say "30p. I only have enough for one. Because I've got 60p, and two 30ps are 80p". ARGH! My maths sucks, massively. I admit that. But numbers between 1 and 10, I can add. Really! And sticking a 0 on the end of that gives me minimal problems. They then followed by buying something for 39p, handed me 40p, and told me to keep the 5p change. To which one girl commented "Charlotte, you moron! It's 4p change!" Yes. Charlotte is the moron of the piece... Then whilst driving past a bar in The New Forest, I saw a sign. "Cream Tea's available inside!" I'm not going to go all Eats, Shoots, And Leaves" on you. Really. Apostrophes can be hard. I get it. But when it comes to plurals? Not so much. My dad even tried to correct with "It's normally Cream Tea". But I pointed out that "Cream Tea available inside!" is bad grammar. Unless they only have one. So, yeah, if this is what mainstream English Language education is producing...I'm still in favour of home education. And please, rant at me with your silly "But mainstream education provides x" or "Home education doesn't provide x". I will swat you away, because I am experienced in this art and argument.
