Its not a suggestion, it is a hard fact.

How many times have you seen "of" used instead on "have" ?

Young people cannot spell, I do not mean the odd typo, everyone does that I mean a fundamental inability to spell correctly and to construct proper sentences.

I do not blame them, I blame our education system, it has been tinkered with over the years, but only to the point where it is the equivalent to using an elastoplast on a brain tumour.

A complete overhaul is needed, I mean no-one any offense over this - but there is such a large proportion of the under 25's who lack basic literacy and numeracy skills that it is shocking.

Qualifications are no longer worth what they were twenty years ago, ask any employer....
