They are even worse at math and science. Consider this in light of the over-emphasis reading, English, history, civics put on the area of overall written and verbal communications and literacy in school.

Whan that aprill with his shoures soote

The droghte of march hath perced to the roote,

And bathed every veyne in swich licour

Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

Whan zephirus eek with his sweete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

Tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne,

And smale foweles maken melodye,

That slepen al the nyght with open ye

Language evolves. That's not even Old English, but Middle English. It's vanity to assume that our language, with it's grammar, syntax, spelling, et al, will remain intact as time moves forward. No generation speaks exactly as the generation before it, and that's just a fact.

Grammar is just one problem.

You should see the graphics on channel 8 KOLO in Reno0 an ABC affiliate.

I have given up calling them & telling them that they have ANOTHER spelling error.

They are embarassing themselves & they don’t even seem to care.

One example:

A story about a local soldier who was killed in the Far east:

SOLIDER

Disgusting...

I sure wish I knew how much $$$ they pay for such.
