The bottom line is that for some time our vaunted public schools have been turning out platoons of functionally illiterate people. Since proper language and writing isn't "trendy" it gets left by the wayside. There is no greater threat to any kind of freedom than a populace who cannot communicate properly and do not honor their language.
People who don't know anything about what goes on in our public schools should probably bite their lip (or keyboard) at times.
