Will business and academia continue to have standards or will language skills simply fade into oblivion as the next generation brings their TM/IM cell phone mentality into the workplace?

I understand what it means but why?
I know someone who whenever we are going somewhere or have to meet someone invariably says “Good. We’re in good shape” I had never heard anyone say that before. Is it common? Who uses it? Where? Oh, just in case it matters .. .English is only my 3rd language ...
Thanks!

Also why do people think that a "Y" sound in Hebrew should be pronounced with a "J" sound in English like Jerusalem, Joseph and Joshua. So in Hebrew is it pronounced Yerusalem?

It means young gazelle...not that the meaning would really help in pronunciation or anything......

Countless times on Yahoo Answers, I have seen people use "wont" (I intentionally missed the apostrophe) instead of "want", the all-too-common "there, their," and "they're" mix-up, and perhaps the one I hate most, using "then" in place of "than" and vice-versa. I hate it so much because in some cases there are so many grammatical errors present that it would be easier to translate Japanese than the grammatically-poor rubbish that morons use. And don't even get me started on bad spelling!

What do you think? Are there any other examples of terrible grammar that you have come across? And, more to the point, do you think that Yahoo should get more serious when it comes to deducting points for poor grammar/spelling (as I do)?

What worked for you ?
I teach gov' workers French in Ottawa. They have to be bilingual because of the language law, however, most of them : 1) resent having to learn French 2) have a scientific mind and find French twisted (because of the exception in grammar rules) 3) don't have time to study at home.
They have to maximise their time in the classroom and be bilingual in order to be promoted.
So, any trick to teach them French ? What works for you when you study a foreign language later in life ?
Best answer get 10 pts and a big "merci" !
