I'm not exactly the most eloquent with language and I admit it, but I know an imbecile when I read it. My friend is a teacher in the city and sometimes we get to help her with homework from the kids (high school). It's amazing how stupid these kids are and it's all attributed to laziness on the previous teachers. They'll pass kids just to get rid of them it seems.
My local newspaper - I can't even read it anymore. Goddamn if they don't have the local grade school writing for them! And when did "pleaded" become proper instead of plead? I hear it on all the news, read it in local rags and I'll bet a dollar it's going on in the courtrooms.
It's "He plead guilty." Not, "He pleaded guilty."
What I do find is that my butchering of the language has some benefits when writing to government officials or trying to get a point across in some "official" capacity to a business or something of the like.
