Allow me to be a grammer nazi for a while

Believe me, I'm there with the OP. Poor grammar is just rampant, and not just in schools.
Ask a High School teacher...it's BAD.

Even at work I see people TYPE just as they speak. No difference. As a result, work from our office can seem completely unprofessional.

Don't people know you write in a different manner than you speak?
Of course ideally we should all speak proper grammar...something I have started to attempt.
Some people think it makes you sound pompous....I prefer the term "educated"
