ed read the question aloud, as he is supposed to do in that situation, and i am sure he found it funny so he shared it with the crowd. he did not ridicule the guy's education, he just pointed out how the word was spelled. if i were speaking and held the floor in that situation i doubt that i would have let it go without saying something. but thats just my personality.

I'd like to add, most people know how to spell by third grade.. you don't need to go to high school for spelling... If you are being taught spelling in high school, you're probably taking the short bus.
I thought it was funny but I soon thought twice about laughing as a dyslexic board member here rightfully was slightly offended. I think he'd reconsider pointing it out again because possibly the person who wrote the question WAS dyslexic rather than stupid!

Had I not found this love with you
I was watching Storytellers (again) and I find it rather hypocritical(not really sure if this word fits the idea I have) of Ed to be making fun of people for not spelling correctly. Coming from a guy who never even finished high school I find that message rather contradictory.
Now I don't care why he dropped out, the fact is he did drop out, and to belittle people on national TV for spelling something wrong, well I find it bullshit. If he was on the honor roll I could care less, I just find it a crock of shit he is being so condescending on TV towards the person who could not spell. I know you don't need a high school diploma to be successful, brilliant, and all the rest of the adjectives. I know Ed has risen up over his past yada yada yada... but for a guy who tries to be soo real I found it kind of a prick move myself.
Coming from a guy who regularly makes up words and tenses for his songs you'd think he would stay away from that. I think he tries to justify his lack of education by saying he researched this or that. We congratufuckulations you researched it so you must be the authority now.
I love Ed, his music, his showmanship, but I found this to be a bad move by him.
Now lets keep the thread on task here, Was Ed out of line for calling out that dude for not spelling something correctly.
I am not all worked up about this, it is a minoredit) thing on the big picture. Just wondering how you thought when he called that person out in front of millions. Yes, I also know I spelled correcting incorrectly, I hit submit before I caught it, a few others as well.
keep this away from what it is to be a drop out and towards the idea of him being a jerk for calling uneeded attention to it
And this coming from someone that doesn't like to have their spelling "corrented" by a high school dropout. It's base level irony, but still good. Thanks for giving me a chuckle.

Public schools are overrated and even people that do graduate can be morons. Smart to me isn't really all about public education, but more about having common sense. Of course, knowing how to read, write and do math are very important, but...you don't have to go to public school to learn that stuff. Yep, I definitely think that common sense is more important than any of those.

I'm sure it's been said already, but for the kind of jackassery that it took to make this thread it bears repeating..
Ed's got his GED and I believe a little college (think I read that somewhere). He dropped out for financial reasons. You try completely supporting yourself at age 17.
And he was just joking with that spelling thing... seems like you were the only one who didn't get it. :rolleyes:

My count is five mistakes; one spelling and four punctuation.
12 people may make the one decision but that doesn't make it right.
