Fits right in with the University of California, Berkeley, approach to Ebonics...which is pandering to the so-called HIP HOP, RAP music? bunch. Why learn to spell the English language, or even speak it, when you can whine about being disadvantaged and get a priveleged money grant to attend a once great center of learning.
If you live don't live in the San Francisco Bay Area you may not know about this story.

The academic impetus and support of UC Berkeley was critical to this Ebonics stupidity. It is known as the trickle-down theory, from a different quadrant of the universe.

So she changed her mind -- in the article it says she wouldn't fix it even for the money because of the hate mail?
I think they should have paid her $4000 for the initial work rather than the $40000 check. She probably wouldn't notice the mispelling of the amount ;)
Geez...why is everyone so uptight if something is repeated around here. It is only a website.
Because you start everything over again from the beginning instead of people reading what's already been said and then ADDING to the conversation. Those of us who have to answer questions get tired of writing the same answer over and over and over when it is readily available for anyone willing to look it up.
