I see we have a fresh new crop of spelling/grammar nazis for Fark!

Can they train the baboons to start attacking whenever they see a misused apostrophe? Because I think grammar baboons would be a huge contribution to civilization.

I thought that was orangutans.

Did anyone else read the headline as "Blondes can't tell the difference between real and vuzy up words when reading horge", and have it make perfect sense?

Also, why does "horge" pass spell check?

The 4-year-old Dan, the star of the bunch and about the equivalent age of a human teenager, got 80 percent of the words right and learned 308 four-letter words.

308 4-letter words? He really is a teen-ager.
