The word focussed is misspelled... as- focussed. Dumb-ass college graduate(s).

The wife and I were just talking about writing a perfect paper, then typing a perfect paper in school. That was back when the dictionary and thesaurus were your best friends. My wife says her college students write at about a 5th grade level. The papers she gets would not have passed Mrs. Wiggins 9th grade comp in 1982. One misspelled word - letter grade deduction. One sentence fragment/run-on - letter grade deduction. One comma splice - letter grade deduction. I see a lot of papers my wife brings home that would have been failed before Mrs. Wiggins got past the thesis statement.
