[SLB]

As I read through the posts to this thread and most others seeing the spelling and grammar errors, it is no wonder the public school system is having the problems it currently has. Just amazing that FReepers who claim to be educated well beyond high school cannot spell or compose simple sentences. It only takes a few minutes to proof read what they post; yet they do not take this time.

This post scored 75.3 on the Flesch Reading Ease score which rates text on a 100-point scale; the higher the score, the easier it is to understand the document. For most standard documents, aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70.

I haven't read this thread yet, but I will tell you that I am also dismayed by the poor grammar and spelling I see all over the Internet. Free Republic does seem to be better than most sites I go to, though. Many people claim that they can't be bothered with writing correctly when posting on the Internet, but I can't bring myself to put my words out there without making sure they’re all correct. I make typos all the time, but when I see them, I cringe.

I feel your pain, SLB.
