Talk about creating an argument out of nothing.

The OP isn't looking down at anyone, he's just pointing out that some people in the business don't know a lot about the business! I'm sorry, but if you don't know what a "strain" is then I'm probably not going to take further advice from you regarding herb. It doesn't matter if you went to school or not.

This is completely different from someone misspelling the word "Conessiur" or something on the board.

Then again like someone mentioned above, maybe a lot of people's smart phones are "creating" this strand-talk phenomena. I've seen it several times and I can't help but think most people know its "strain".
