Scary but all too true...I'm taking online classes to get my bachelors (I'm almost 40D and the posts some of the kids make to our discussions are sadly close to this, the essays that half of them wrote for Comp I are just pathetic, I swear they don't even know how to use spell check let alone use proper grammar.No really funny, but very sad when you think about it. This is from my fiancee's facebook. Is this really the literacy rate of people today?

This is the problem with America. We pass children who are basically one step above a mentally handicapped child. It used to be that if you were this way you had to repeat the grade because you were too stupid.

If you confront one of these mongrels about their grammatical transgressions they will say "Ho! Ho! You see, this is just the way that I type things that don't matter! When I have to do a school essay, I use proper grammar." Yet, lo and behold, you take a look at one of their essays, and there it is, festooned with all manner of grammatical error and blunder.
