As a writing specialist at the college level, I can attest--students (IN COLLEGE) do not understand possessive nouns, comma use, how to form a complete sentence...the list goes on. It's not being taught, so students graduate high school and then college under-equipped to understand how language works. Then sloppiness becomes the norm in the written word in general because, well, who cares? Who knows enough to care?<br /><br />Now I'm depressed.

Until stocks last." <br /><br />So... I'm guessing it goes on forever, because no stocks last when there's a sale on.
