FR needs an English-only policy. :)

Can't agree more.

I can hardly believe all of the poor spelling, grammar, and punctuation I see in articles today - not to mention the general sloppiness and poor composition of much of it.

To be fair, most of the mistakes I see are in blog postings, which rely on the author's own proofreading and editing abilities. Still, it is an irritating distraction.

Spelling, grammar and punctuation errors are everywhere in America. This is a reflection of the substandard education young people receive in this country.

I just received an NRA magazine that shows a commemorative gun and holster set described as similar to what Clayton Moore used on TV in his role as the "LONG" Ranger.

The enemies of the United States could not have executed a plan more destructive of our nation than the public education system from which our young people emerge as functional illiterates.

America produces millions of ignorant "graduates" of high schools.

Stupid is as stupid does.
