Oh well.....the correct use of English seems to have been a problem for
more years than most of us have been alive. Schools don't teach it
anymore, because, any more, it doesn't seem to matter?
What a pity. And, of course, writing it does have a different impact in
that we have time to digest the writing and disect it for proper
useage. Allowing for faster fingers than brain with mis-spellings,
improper punctuation, etc, there are ample opportunities for people to
show ignorance of the english language.
Education is just plain dumbing down to use a colloquialism. Teachers
are not being taught so they only pass on their ignorance.
Such a damned shame.
