As someone who has been pretty well versed in the English language his entire life I have noticed something that is really disappointing.

People usually don't notice or appreciate when everything is written properly - when English is used correctly. It's just expected.

On the other hand, however, people also don't notice most typographical errors or grammatical clusterfucks even when they are basically screaming in your face.

It is really hard to say if the average consumer really even notices if something is poorly written, or what is incorrect most of the time. Some of the ways the English language has been molested recently (and especially by my generation) is depressing.

I was a TA for a couple years in High School for the IB and AP English IV classes. Even then it was pretty pathetic what some people would do wrong.
