    This is not a slam on North Central Texas College, but I thought this was a pretty funny essay to be posted on the wall as "good reading." But what do I know, I'm a computer science major... Anyway, I don't have the whole article, just a piece that I took a picture of with my camera phone over spring break. Here's what I got, retyped for clarity (all errors and tabulation theirs).


              In today's busy world. Communication means time and money not only for big business but also for the small consumer. The public wants information and they want it now. We are no longer in the age of the postman coming to your door and dropping off the mail and talking to everyone. But of course then a stamp only cost 12 cents. E-mail has done a lot for our society not only has it speed up the process of giving and receiving your mail it has hurt the United States Postal Service. In 1962 a first class stamp only cost 4 cents. Now in 2007 it cost 42 cents. The United States Post Office is the only Government agency witch is self supporting. That is why you do not ever hear anyone saying hey lets raise taxes for the Post office no they are in competition with several other companies for your business such as Fed Ex, UPS and many others that is why the Post office advertises that they will take the other companies packages and hold them for pick up. With the computer age and the internet has hurt them even more. Who wants to spend 42 cents to mail a letter when they can just sign on and send one along with photos of the kids or anything else they wand and they can have it delivered right then not days later
              Now that we do have the internet and the option off right now delivery the biggest problem is finding the right mail system for you. I checked out three different mail carriers and I must say there is a difference for all three it came down really to what options best fit your needs. The first one is Outlook Express This is a good site that we use a lot for business. It has your basic needs such as Spam folder, Deleted folder, Sent items, it even has a cache for the deleted items so not to take up space on your drive witch does slow your computer down. But this site also has


    ...and that's all that I have. Seriously, half of the hilarity is the fact that words are misspelled and the other half is that some things just don't make sense or follow what the previous sentence just said. I thought it was worth a laugh. Let me know what you think.
