Is this not the weirdest sh*t? "Sorry little Johnny but you suck at spelling and now that man is dead." Just limb by limb, his head in a noose, hanging in a gallows, the pressure building on poor little school children to choose wisely on the next letter. Not for cash and prizes like Wheel of Fortune, but so you don't hang a man to his death. . Was he innocent? Was he guilty? What did he do? Why did he have to hang for little Johnny's terribly phonics skills? And we did this at SCHOOL. And I was only today years old when I saw this tweet and thought about how weird this is, lol. . What else was weird about growing up in the 80s and 90s? Name some. Like... remember ashtrays in cars? Even in the doors, in the back?
