Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I grew up in a household where speaking properly was expected, debate was an entertaining pastime, and reading was enjoyed. Although I've mellowed over the years and try not to jump down people's throats anymore about obvious grammatical errors, it does concern me that such basic errors are so commonplace.
Your thoughts are welcome:
Do you think people make such errors out of laziness (just not paying attention), ignorance, or deliberately?
If deliberately, why?
If in ignorance, how can people go through at least 12 years of school and not learn this basic information?
