That website is a hoot! I am always appalled when I see public signage with misspellings or improper grammar. I'm always very self conscious when writing for public view! I try to make extra sure it's correct.

I saw an interesting comment in a movie about Dorothy Parker. The person said that there are few great writers anymore because writers then treated language like a science. Parceling sentences so they were correctly "formulated". I remember dissecting sentences at school. I doubt it's done today.
Sadly, for most people, grammar is not a skill that is important. I teach math and having the correct answer and the method of getting the correct answer have little value.

Sorry for all the posts, but I'm working my way through the posts.
