So true. I am 59 and constantly shake my head in disbelief at the stupidity that surrounds me on a daily basis. I just assumed that young folks know what I knew at their age. Most can't spell common three and four letter words.

Most can't spell common three and four letter words.

One of my major frustrations with the young. My last job was in Canada and I was the grand poohbah on a Yuge construction project and had a lot of various department heads reporting to me...often in written format.

I was astounded at how few could write a three paragraph progress report that was coherent and not full of grammatical errors. I had several kids, (many in their 30's) ask me what they could do to advance their careers, and I would tell them to learn a little basic English!!
