Default Literacy!

The ability to spell and use punctuation correctly is not a prerequisite to selling ludicrously overpriced 'toys' on E-Pay.

I tried to read that paragraph/sentence(?) aloud and ran out of breath abouth two thirds of the way through. Its frightening what our school systems are churning out nowadays.

I once had a subbie write, in a service paper, that, "mortal blows by the sword are often fatal". He was a graduate of an engineering university that does not have "Royal" in its title.
