It's not just the US. Proper spelling and grammar are not taught anywhere these days. No wonder so many on this list (for instance) are illiterate. Have a look at Lynne Truss 2003 "Eats, Shoots & Leaves"; while I don't agree with everything she says about punctuation, and in addition she has real problems with grammar, for punctuation sticklers (like me)it's worth reading. It was a bestseller in Britain and is now on the US market (Gotham Books). |
