Doesn't anyone know how to spell anymore?? Does anyone know the difference between know and now? How about too, to and two. I'm convinced that most high school graduates don't know much. Texting lingo has permeated our beautiful, albeit confusing language. Everywhere I look I spy spelling errors, misused words and massive typos. A fun challenge I like to partake in every now and again is taking an issue of The Metro and circling all the typos. It just goes to show you that literacy has taken a back seat. Anyone can be a published writer. And the best part is people just don't notice. High schools need to implement exit exams or society is doomed to the inevitable idiocracy.
Punctuation is another issue. Who knows when to insert an apostrophe...it's often easier finding ways around 'em.
