leaving those out of it who don't speak English as a first language it is disturbing how many native English speakers from the US and Canada don't even have high school English skills. BUT it doesn't really have anything to do with intelligence, some of the worst offenders are very smart and make a fortune in this industry. it's more a social class and education thing.

when somebody says or writes 'I seen that movie' I cringe - and people pick that up from their parents, same as black people almost always say 'i wanna ax you a question' - most of them know it's not correct but it just comes out of their mouths that way because that's how they learned the language when they were young.

schools are too lazy and politically correct to beat kids over the head with that stuff.

back in my parents' day it was different - teachers would drive basic math and grammar into kids' heads so that even a dropout could read and write proper English and handle basic math.
