2) "China's" is possessive. You shall NEVER again misuse any language in my name!

China has got it goin' on with the grammar! LOL Admittedly, I write a lot and while I do it fairly well, I'm also a rule breaker. While grammar is important, it can be "stuffy" at times. It's more fun to write like ya talk on a board of this nature, which would definitely mean breaking some grammar rules!

That being said, I used to cringe about the improper uses of their, there, and they're on occasion. I even started a funny little thread about it at one point. There, their & they're

Educated does NOT equal intelligent. That's a no brainer. Intelligence is subjective meaning it's a matter of opinion; whereas, educated is objective suggesting you can in fact prove it with a piece of paper.

Anyone can have a slew of degrees to prove an education, but intelligence is in the eye of the beholder so to speak.

My ex is a CEO who can't even spell, yet he has successfully saved over 8 hospitals from going under. He also can't use the words "too" and "to" properly, but makes over 300k doing what most of us couldn't. Still, when he writes you can understand what he is trying to convey because it makes sense.
