Uhhh---"rubish"? "copany"? "rekon"? "they loose(?) half there(?) income"? "droping"? Someone PLEASE introduce this person to the words "grammar", "spelling" and "spellcheck"! When I was in high school, back in the 1960s, my English teachers moaned that we were raising a generation of illiterate high school students; now, more than a generation later, I'm fully convinced that they were right. I've encountered more than forty years' worth of functionally illiterate high school graduates since then, and it's making me sick to my stomach. We have an educational system that condones graduating failing-grade students just to get the warm bodies out of the schools in order to make room for the next generation of students who aren't going to graduate with a proper education---and the people responsible for this travesty should
be taken out someplace and shot in the backsides with rock salt and bacon rind---and then sent back to school to learn how to do their jobs properly!
And you can hold the originator of the response I took those words at the front of this response from up as a prime example of what I've been talking about.
