OK,so I was looking for some blank `Top Trumps` templates so I could make my own cards and I found some on "Primary Teacher UK" website. However reading in some of the posts I found this.. Intentional or a pretty grim example of the low education standards this country has plummeted to. I initially though `typo`, but the grammar in the post is actually rather poor.

You decide.

Wow. I've concluded that society has decided to give up on proper use of a lot / alot, there / their / they're, your / you're, loose / lose, and pretty much anything with an apostrophe in it. You would think our teachers would have been our last line of defense.

Another example, via failblog -- and this was a freaking education software display in a store...

And of course you made your own typo just to highlight the problem?

Based on many of the parents I know, I don't find this any more encouraging than the school system...

Don't want to be picky, Simms, but the correct grammar in this quote: 'It would have been better if...or It would've been..., not, It would of been...' Sorry about that:))
