[size 3][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Amen Pat! The quality of the grammar and spelling on this and most other websites says a lot about the quality of the country's educational system over the past 20 to 30 years. Most graduating high school seniors today would have a very difficult time passing the tests we had to pass to get out of the 6th grade.[/#800000][/font][/size]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Texting via cell phones and iPods with all the shortcuts and abbreviations have made the current crop of under 40 year olds a bunch of language illiterates by the standards that you and I grew up under. And I don’t see any chance that things are going to get any better in our lifetimes.[/size][/#800000][/font]
