Are You Gooder?

Your Language Arts Grade: 100%

Way to go! You know not to trust the MS Grammar Check and you know "no" from "know." Now, go forth and spread the good word (or at least, the proper use of apostrophes).

I scored 100%, but then you knew I would, didn't you? This is the kind of stuff we studied ad nauseum when we were in school, and it stuck.

Unfortunately, not even newspaper editors, ad writers, or most other college grads have a CLUE about apostrophes, possessives, or personal pronouns today. Improper grammar is but one more symptom of the dumbing down of our precious country.

The sad thing about it is that it would be almost amusing if the poor quality of American education didn't have such far-reaching effects. The much bigger problem is that a poorly-educated people is an easily-led people. As we are dumbed-down, we lose the ability to evaluate choices for ourselves and learn to trust the word of the "bubble-headed bleached blonde" on the evening news, or the good-looking but terminally corrupt politician.

I fear for your generation and that of your kids.
