Why the Little Ones Cannot Ace a Spelling Test...

Sure you have seen it, it lurks everywhere. A word that is misspelled by a child in elementary school. Now, we have not only seen it, but we have most-likely witnessed it first hand. Why is this, you ask? Not enough reading? Perhaps. Genetics? Maybe. Commonly and intentionally misspelled words used by brand names? Now we are talkin'. A flunked spelling test can mean no t.v. for a night, restriction, or even being grounded ('gulp'). Now it is our right to let these brands and big-time corporations have it for leading our younger siblings and children down the wrong educational path!

If you happen to not believe what I am saying, or find it not reasonable, let me list some of these frauds for you: 

* Toys r' Us (That R their is cute, but not cute enough to risk a misspelled word.) 

* Playskool (Imagine going somewhere everyday and not even knowing how to spell where you are going.) 

*Pick Up Stix (Classically played game, classically misspelled.) 

*Bratz (Some joke being played on ebonics? not funny.) 

*7-eleven (A little on the grown-up side, but kids go with them to buy gas, don't they?) 

*Krispy Kream (Donuts are everywhere, so are kids, and they love them.) 

*Wild Thingz (Good thing they went bankrupt, they were all over the place- a Chuck-e Cheese clone) 

*Kool-Aid (Another classic.) 

* Gripz (A new one, just to show you they keep on coming...) 

* Rice Krispies (The most important meal also causes illiteracy!) 

Their are much more of these... we need to bring these to an end before they bring all the little children down! Spread the word of these horrible incidents....
