I use my 18 year old son to translate...it all started with him when I found out they were teaching him phonetics in K class instead of spelling....he still can't spell worth a crap and graduated with a diploma....and he was in an expensive PRIVATE school!!!!!! I'm afraid there is little hope it will get better, WW...I saw what they taught in public schools too and it's even worse...Way back in my days of school we actually had to learn the English language which included spelling, grammar and punctuation. Those days are gone my friend...

I think these days the teachers put more emphasis on properly putting on and wearing a condom than on the English language...kinda sad really...
