I think that there is a problem with the 'three 'R's' not being taught properly. I am shocked to find people hired to write copy for the internet and lacking basic standards of literacy. Product copy, newsletters, blog posts for 'social media' and that sort of stuff requires some ability to spell, the sort of ability that most people on this site had when they were aged 11.
There are also those that 'learned' to write with Microsoft applications that capitalise the first letter of a sentence. When these people are allowed to use something like Wordpress that does not have this magic, what happens? All notion of punctuation goes out of the window and they do not care. They really don't and little things like spelling and grammar shows that, plus if challenged they state that it does not matter as there are more important things - as if!!!
IMHO the 90% that cannot use CTRL+F cannot spell or use punctuation. They have the reading age of a small child.
