First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics.

I may be dumbed down by a substandard education system, but I know the difference between "then" and "than"...

I am sure you can read the original written in Russian, you being such a great cunning linguist and all.

Yes, but English is your first language.

If you know any foreign languages, especially those with different alphabets and/or diacritical marks, is your spelling always correct?
