By running a quick and dirty analysis on the direction of each response, I come to the conclusion that the TV show was full of it, and did not portray an accurate state of affairs as far as the common man sees it. Our language is still near and dear to us. It makes us who we are, it is the underlying backbone of our culture and it allows us to communicate with one another on unequivocal terms.
It's clear that 95+ percent of us are of the opinion that it's unnacceptable to simply "not care" how it's used and maintained. It is one of the things that we should really care about, and not let slide into disarray. It is not a waste of time to learn it properly. It is essential to have standards.
I don't have kids. If I did, I'd be telling any teacher instructing them that it's unimportant to spell properly to go and get a job they're really capable of. Teaching isn't one of them.
