Its bad enough when I get people who are obviously young, and have no idea what im talking about, but this week I received an entire legal document that went through 5 sets of experienced hands, where my business address is written "Roseyvelt", and no one knew this was wrong, when I clearly related repeatedly that it was named for the president.

I don't know whats worse, that all these people have such a lack of historical education that they have no idea who Teddy Roosevelt and FDR are, or, that they don't seem to care that they don't, and are professionals in various fields with up to 20 years of experience.
If my business was on "Kesha" avenue, no doubt any of them would have caught the mistake.

These kids today, i tell ya
the state of our education system, all these kids care about is bell bottoms, rock and roll, and free love
