@ Raidra and Mikemacdee: Great posts!

We live in an era where children who lose in sporting events are awarded with trophies that say winner, while the gesture is nice in a couple of ways, the trophies aren't earned and are unfair to the winning team who put in the effort. I guess what I am trying to say is that there are those that put in more effort than others to be successful, but now children are being rewarded for their failures and thus feel that they are owed success which in turn leads to things like this.

I don't have any issues with those that complain about their pasta being deleted if they genuinely believe that they didn't make grammatical errors, because that is just them not knowing better. I do take issue with those that complain because they feel that they are owed having their pasta(s) on the site and damn grammar.

Grammar is hard and some teachers are better than others at passing it on. I know this first hand as I am largely self taught in terms of my grammar due to most of my English teachers thinking that old English styled stories were more important than teaching current day grammar. However, there are tools out there that one can use to learn grammar. Heck, we have the Writer's Workshop which pretty much negates the need to learn grammar beyond a certain point.

I just hate it when I see people that act like the entire world owes them everything and I really hate the thought that society in general is encouraging this negative behavior.
