Bad spelling...bad habit.

In this day and age, with the Internet, smartphones, dictionaries, MP3 players, computers, etc., readily available to pretty much everyone, there is no excuse for bad spelling.  If you do not know how to spell a word, LOOK IT UP.  If you continually misuse the words your/you're, they're/their/there, passed/past, or one of a thousand other possibilities, LOOK IT UP.  Every time I read a blog post, facebook update, etc., with spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes, it makes me cry a little inside.  I don't for a minute believe that every person in the world is a super genius, but basic spelling and grammar are musts in today's world.  Kids need to stop expecting technology to do everything for them.  Someday I will meet my Prince Charming, and he will know how to spell and pronounce words, use correct grammar, and punctuate sentences correctly.  Be still, my geeky heart!
