No. It is a sign of how uneducated the staff of MCPS truly are. All of them, morons.

Any written correspondence by school personnel is considered a legal document. Typos should be minimal and sporadic at best.

It’s not DCUM where nobody should GAF if youse caint spells.

It’s disgusting and rude! I send everything with more than 1 typo back to the principal in red ink.

Maybe this anxious feeling will subside? But right now it is a constant while the website says "MCPS Superintendent's Recommends Budget for Next School Year" over a photo of the Superintendent, who appears to be looking at the typo, just like me.

You'll get used to it, typos, bad grammar etc. MCPS is full of that, especially from teachers and school administrators. At first I was horrified, but like I say, you'll get used to it, as it's rife.
