and First of all, screw that.  I know tons of 17 year olds who know a
helluvalot more about computers than most people .... but they sure as hell know what a database 
looks like.  
Second of all, most people wouldn't really know much of anything if a 
atabase
fell on them from a great height.
And just because someone is unable to spell or punctuate is not reason enough 
to chew them out for being stupid.  Inability or refusal to spell or 
unctuate
correctly is definitelyx not a sign of stupidity.  The only reason I used
to that someone is stupid for saying "Socrates" wrong is because my world civ
teacher told me that they were.  That doesn't mean it's true.
and if you expect her to call upon you for support just because you bagged 
down on the other guy, you should be ashamed of yourself.  And if she listens 
to you and does that, she should also be ashamed of herself.
Now say 3 Hail-Chrishnas and go to bed at 8:00.  Be a good boy!
