Seriously... as an employer, I do have a bit of an issue with the degradation of writing skills in general. We've been recruiting lately, and the number of CVs with spelling and grammatical errors was staggering to me. These are people trying to impress a potential future employer in tough times when competition for the position is getting fierce, and they can't even get their own CV right.
One had 4 spelling mistakes in the first 2 paragraphs of their CV. They're an engineer going for a job where we specified communication skills are important, and they misspelled the word "Enginnering"! I stopped ready after that, sent a polite note back to the recruitment agent saying "no thanks". They asked for feedback, so I told them why and also asked them how/why they passed on the CV to us in that state as well!
Back on topic... I understand these forums attract a diverse range of members with different education levels etc. English may not even be their primary language. That's fine. This is a casual medium and it's all about learning IMO. As long as the message gets across, I'm satisfied.
But some of the reading skills is pretty ordinary, too. The number of posts where there's multiple questions asked, or a specific question is posted, and replies come thick and fast about everything other than what was asked.
