I am serious. I don't think the majority of Americans have basic reading, writing, and spelling skills. I'm basing this assumption from the the questions that get submitted and my everyday contacts with others. Is it because:
1. People don't want to take the time and just want to see their question posted as fast as possible, without regard to how illiterate it is?
2. People aren't smart enough to choose between the correct words when the spell checker gives options?
3. Our educational system is failing horribly?
4. Kids try to be "cute" and talk "gangsta"?
5. People have no self esteem and don't care what they say, how they say it, or to whom they say it?
Bottom line, if I were in a position to hire a prospective employee and he/she had excellent college credentials, but he/she said, "I ain't got none," or "My car was tooken," or something similar, he/she would not become an employee of my company.
