I am shocked at the number of questions that contain bad spelling and grammar. Do you think that texting so much might cause this, or is our education system really that bad?

If they would just learn how to use spell-check it would help.

Guess you forgot to use it on the word "course"? :p

Spell check wouldn't have helped. It doesn't have word recognition to select the word one would need to complete the sentence. ; )

Certainly in Britain it only appears to be over 50's who use grammar and spelling correctly. These days in schools many children are taught that spelling doesn't matter it's content that counts. There is proof of this in grocery shops where you often see incorrect apostrophes such as 'potato's' instead of potatoes. or in librarys where I have seen signs saying 'renew your book's here'
I think it is a great shame and poor grammar can confuse the reader.
