Proofreader wanted

On a tangent, there is a book out titled "Albions Seed" that documents the four major folkways brought over from the U.K. One of them, the Borderers, settled west of the colonies since they couldn't get along with the others and have gone on to evolve into one of the mainstays of extreme right wing culture in this country. One of their proud distinctions is the disdain for proper spelling (as seen on their protest placards) and total lack of respect for authority.

All the best,

And all this time I thought it was a lack of education causing the spelling errors. I had no idea it was an additional form of protest. Idiots.

I believe the movement or policy that is trying to be passed in US schools is to get rid of cursive writing and put in typing in it's place.

I think another issue with typing on mobile devices is autocorrect IMO. People just rely on it and don't bother to proofread what they typed. One example I saw just now.

Here is a tweet from MMAWeekly

Surgeon Detains Anderson Silva's Surgery, Expects Full Recovery

Obviously they mean details here but I bet whomever put this tweet together was on a phone and just was tapping or swiping away and didn't catch the incorrect word.

In the Illinois school system, there's a movement afoot to do away with cursive. At the same time doctorate candidates are being taught how to now deal with college age students with poor grammar and writing skills.

Some schools here in Michigan have done away with teaching cursive already. How are these kids going to read anything of importance from our past? History is full of documents, letters, etc., written in cursive. They had a knack for excellent penmanship.

Makes you wonder if a simple "signature" on a contract, check, or just a letter will vanish as a form of validation.
