speechless... a new low

Within the first 30 seconds of the show tonight, the writers made a classic high schooler mistake: they used "effected" when they meant "affected." Written write on the screen in large block letters. How is it possible that I, while only half paying attention and not really caring, managed to notice that and no one who works there did? Have they all stopped caring too? Not that it makes a difference to me, I'm just hoping that someone else out there is educated enough to have caught it.

Written write on the screen, huh? I think that's a high school mistake too.

Sigh... this is what happens when I post from a SmartPhone that thinks it's smarter than me.

Let's see... "it's" instead of "its," "than" instead of "then," think I got them all this time.

g. lopez explained the problem. he said when he was a kid his parents when driving would for some reason slam on the breaks real hard & b/c they didn't wear seatbelts his head would hit the dash. this was some sort of punishment or something? wasn't clear. this also supposed to be funny. he told this as a joke. child abuse? funny? explains many things about the show. tho, it doesn’t explain where the screaming & cheers are coming from b/c when they show the crowd they are just smiling. if that.

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

LOL... What? You're trying to blame the smartphone? How would the smartphone change "right" to "write". Phones spellcheck, they don't substitute words like that. There's no way you were typing "right" and it changed it to "write". Just admit it, you're an idiot.
