I never really saw people make this mistake until about a year ago. Now between digg and fark I probably see it at least once a day in front page stories. I guess focusing on nothing but standardized tests means our schools are putting out bumper crops of little morons every year. Thanks "No Child Left Behind"!

Just a typo? No it's not. I see it ten times a day on the Internet, and it drives me insane.

My great-grandma is 105. She was going to start blogging, but she passed away years ago.

Hopefully she continues blogging. She doesnt look like she is 107 at all.

I am 17 years old, and I have worked at a retirement home, two blocks away from my house, for three years now.There is an old woman by the name of Grace. She is close to 105, and nobody that I work with (all teenagers) believes it! However, I should know, I was at her 102 birthday !She wears a brown wig, which is somewhat-cheesy, but I don't care, becasue she Is soo extremely youthful. I have known 70 year olds that look older than her. She walks aronud with a medium Julia Child hump on her back, buck walks like a champ! I'm so proud to know her, and to work at a place with such ancient people. Full respect needs to be given to these people, so stop making s**tty, disrespectful remarks regarding these wonderful people. My 2 cents
