Every day I get more and more astonished at how the written word has deteriorated. I'm given resumes by 20-somethings who expect me to hire them, yet they can't even distinguish between 'then' and 'than'. I look at headlines written in the Boregonian with multiple prepositions in them, written in past tense. I read down and the tenses don't even match up in the body of the story, let alone the mis-spelled local street names and dropped suffixes. What the hell are they teaching in high school and colleges? or did these folks even attend?
