Grammar and spelling being taught again in schools. The average 11 year old now probably has better spelling than the average 31 year old. They should know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're", for example. Ten years from now, when they are at work, their spelling, grammar and command of English will be far better than their managers'.

That's good news.
Maybe we'll return to the famous quote by Bacon.
Reading maketh a full man,
conference a ready man,
AND WRITING AN EXACT MAN.

Not so much a spelling mistake but a phrase that I think has been influenced by online translation software...

"Being rather selective, I specify that I have no time to lose with the installers of rabbits, the curious and the scum, so thank you to pass your path."

Any idea of what this may have meant to say??

Well obviously it's not meant to be taken literally, it refers to all manufacturers of animal enclosures.

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

I'm not holding my breath about that, phoenix . Maybe I'm more cynical than you, but I fear that, outside the classroom, most communication will be done, like this post, by predictive texting. And the tester will assume that the software has predicted correctly.

Like I - deliberately - did with that previous sentence!

I do hope that this is a typo!
