Artists as intellectuals, do they measure up?
I have noticed that they have worse spelling than any other place on the net with the exception of My Space teenagers. Otherwise, I'm not sure, what do you think?

Personally I think texting is turning a generation of people into idiots that cannot write or spell.

Sometimes spelling errors are unintentional typos, not a lack of spelling skill. But it is true that the english language has been taking a beating because of twitter abbreviations, shorthand used in e-mails and texting and the dumbing down of written communication in general. My friend is a professor who says that many students are semi-literate and need remedial training in writing and grammar. I don't think artists are any dumber than the average population.

I make mistakes here all the time , but most times try to be as accurate in spelling as possible and present topics or observations in a way that people understand without coming across as an intellectual arrogant know it all...that condescends and makes people feel like idiots,,I am just a joe scotch pack..and sometimes a joe six pack but mostly a joe with a cup of coffee...: )
