I think it shows apathy and indifference towards language, which is arguably the most important aspect of education as a whole. Anyone can learn to write and spell properly. I hate competitiveness in crap game shows and reality tv, so to finally see it in one aspect of life that really does matter, I can only say I'm pretty glad.

yes....if i had a dime for everytime i proofread one of my friends' papers and they misused their and there, i would be able to buy that nice Escalade i've always wanted...and the words that the kids have to spell are so random and assinine. Didn't that fainting kid win 2nd place?
