Look, we can't keep stopping at every "sop", "yeld", or "one vay" sign we see!

"Yeilding for Grammar"

That's a big headline fail. Spelling is NOT a grammatical issue. Grammar is composition. Thus, this is a prime example of Skitt's Law:

4. Skitt's Law
Expressed as "any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself" or "the likelihood of an error in a post is directly proportional to the embarrassment it will cause the poster."

It's a rule that is simple, concise and efficeint.
For all speceis of spelling it's more than sufficeint.
Against words wild and wierd, it's one law that shines bright
Blazing out like a beacon upon a great hieght,

It gives guidance impartial, sceintific and fair
In this language, this tongue to which we are all hier.
'Gainst the glaceirs of ignorance that icily frown,
This great precept gives warmth, like a thick iederdown.

Now, a few in soceity choose to deride,
To cast DOUBT on this anceint and venerable guide;
They unwittingly follow a foriegn agenda,
A plot hatched, I am sure, in some vile haceinda.

In our work and our liesure, our homes and our schools,
Let us follow our consceince, sieze proudly our rules!
Will I dilute my standards, make them vaguer and blither?
I say NO, I will not! I trust you will not iether.

As someone who lives in the area, I can say with reasonable authority that Sparks is the real inspiration behind Reno 911.

Great, now my spelling has corrupted the whole of Sparks, instead of just the IRC channel.

rural nevada tests below mississippi, alabama and new mexico in everything important - education, literacy, teen pregnancy, drug abuse, mental illness, etc. The demographics of Las Vegas and Reno are badly skewed by the inbred hill people who live in the rest of this litter-box of a state.

Well, we still do pay our doctors in chickens, so cut us some slack.

You'll probably have to kick out most of the male student body then...

Heh, yeah, Sparks. They're doing well just to have paved roads and actual street signs made of metal.

It happens when you're the "bedroom town" to Reno, of all places. Talk about the ass crack of nothing in particular...

/why yes, I lived not too far from there. We had more action in Gardnerville than they did in Sparks 9 days out of 10.

What da frick- it's supposed to be the Giants! I friggin' told them immigrants! No wonder they cut me a deal. What a deal! They probably don't even have giants in their country; they're so frickin' tiny. Look at this crap. Half of them dissolved in the box.
