Took me a few seconds to note the “too” should be “to”, the “misstakes” should be spelled “mistakes”, and the “dont” should be “don’t”. The mind can understand the meaning of a word even when the vowels are removed or even if the spelling is really, really bad (but my dyslexia hides the true intent of the word even when it is clearly written). Can’t say this is spell check gone bad or a side effect of tweeting. I agree that it’s (or should that be its?) a good thing the grads can’t see what he is saying; however, the speaker may indeed write like that too (or is that to?). First it was the Oxford comma, now it is the dangling participle. Pretty soon there will be nothing but printing, tweeting and internet abbreviations, (Oxford?) and emoticons. Ah, progress can’t be stopped. Signed-Grammar Nazi.

Sad thing is that this is all too common. Yes, even with college grads.

In today’s world, it’s not what went wrong, but who was wrong. Find a scapegoat. Don’t make waves. Don’t try anything new.

Unless I am mistaken, the grads can’t see what he is saying. And that’s a good thing!

Reminds me of the EU’s plans. Search for “Ze drem vil finali kum tru” for a good giggle.
