The dumbing down of America s nothing new and it isn't all cell phones and IMs.
College students submit papers with spelling and punctuation that would not be accepted for someone my age when in the 4th grade.
It is atrocious and it is basically colleges giving up on trying to force the students to do it right.
Before you all tell me about how wrong I am, I have talked to parents who have complained to their students professors and the most response received were shrugged shoulders. My wife's nephew used my laptop to put together a paper. I've seen better spelling from my grand daughter. His parents told me it was the norm. This was confirmed by his older sister who graduated the same big time university in WalMartland.
