Basic literacy are a thing’s of the passed
While watching TV this morning, a commercial aired for a reality show involving some form of climbing icy mountain peaks (cue extreme-sounding orchestral theme). Watching with passive disinterest, my attention was suddenly drawn to the large letters gracing the center of the screen: “They’ve past the last camp”. Evidently they’ve passed the need for basic literacy as well. I’ll accept that your show is based upon the over-dramatization of what is basically fairly yawn-inducing material, but please at least take the time to insure ensure that your five carefully chosen words represent more than a fifth grade level of English comprehension.
