Howdja get to be so wicked smart?

From a student: "i'm having a wikked hard time with the internet and i've tried to take both quizes and it won't let me"

It's not a measure of intelligence, it's a measure of sloppiness, perhaps. Or perhaps it is an effort to avoid looking too smart. God forbid you should retype or check your spelling lest you appear to care about the quality and craftsmanship of your words. If you did, you'd be an elite intellectual, like those awful elite intellectuals we all know.
