I can understand the young lady’s plight, JP. If someone as wealthy as Ludacris is really paying her way through college, she should be able to eat more than Ramen noodles. That’s probably where she gets this idea that people making money don’t help others out. On the other hand, if that’s how this student intended to spell “ludicrous,” then perhaps Charles Murray had a point in this Wall Street Journal op-ed.

A simple solution to dining solely on Ramen noodles during your college years; Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. And then, for holidays, live a little and enjoy Rice a Roni, the San Francisco Treat.

Ah ha ha ha! People are poor! They should eat different lousy food from the lousy food that they currently eat. And sometimes, they misspell words. Funny! You guys are off the hook! And so in touch with the needs of most Americans.

i agree with oliver! i was laughing so hard that my monocle fell out!
and ps. when criticizing OTHERS' grammar or spelling errors, one should probably not misuse apostrophes.

I fixed the apos'trophe error in the original pos't but I concede Midges' correction s'till stands'. I feel pretty Ludacris' about the whole s'ituation.
