Gramm..err?

No, it's grammar!

I don't know how many people misspell that word. I see grammar spelled grammer, grammerr, etc...all the time.
I see people misuse to, too, and two.
Definitely is not spelled definately
You're crazy because you can't use your mind properly

We had a grammar throw-down last class. I have always been a bit rusty on the grammatical side of things. My sentences also tend to be too wordy. My commas are always in the wrong places. I attribute quotes incorrectly. <-I end my sentences with adverbs. There are countless problems with my writing.

But the only way to get better is to learn what exactly you're doing wrong. Some people may have thought that this grammar throw-down was just a fun little challenge, but I actually learned a lot. For some of the questions, I was overly confident in my mistakes. I guess if you do something long enough the wrong way, you eventually think that it's correct.

Besides the grammar, we're in the process of writing the second draft of our group paper. My group is meeting tomorrow to lay down the re-write.

Another group in class might look into the aspect of students just being downright lazy as one of the reasons plagiarism occurs. I actually think that's the main reason as to why plagiarism occurs. I've been asked before if I could write someone's paper, or if they could see what I wrote for a class. I always denied that favor.
Even if students ask it jokingly of one another, it points out a trying problem that's occurring with our generation. People don't want to do their own work. People don't want to do work at all. They want work to be fun and enjoyable, and they don't want their full time job to be this dim 9-5 job that's stereotyped in the movies as a pointless office cubicle career that leads you no where. Or even worse, you become so lazy, that like in Office Space, you're offered a promotion..?
I don't know why the country's in a recession. I never understood recessions or why they occur. But if it happens with our generation, I'm just going to go ahead and blame it on laziness.
If students don't do their work in college, then I think it's safe to assume they aren't going to do their work for their jobs. They'll somehow find a way around it. And if the work isn't getting done in the work force, then people are going to hit dead ends. Things will slow down and stop working properly. Companies will fall apart. People will lose their jobs who deserve to. People will lose their jobs who don't. And people entering the work force have less of a chance of getting one because of the stupidity that has come before them.

Lucky us.

I've often been labeled a pessimist with my friendships, my relationships, and my outlook on the future. And I'm sorry about that. But things just seem much too fake when you're optimistic about it.

Take plagiarism for example. Sure, I could be optimistic and say that there's hope for the future. There are solutions. Things are working to reduce it. But that's all false. If anything, it's just going to get worse.

Like Aladdin said in the Disney movie..."You're only in trouble if you get caught."
