...it's also inexcusable for any educated adult to misuse the words their/there and the contraction of 'they are' in writing. Education is standard throughout the North American Union, and it was very widespread in the United States and Canada before that.
It's not only that people cannot use the english language appropriatley, it's that too many of them have a lack of essential knowledge in general. The symptoms can be seen everywhere- from someone who can't use their home computer to someone who opens their toaster oven and gets frustrated because they don't understand the operating directions. The ability to think is essential, and it appears it's being bred out of the human race.
That's why I would urge you all to pass this bill and rebuild our entire education program. We need more Einsteins, Bachs, and Hemmingways. Our entire survival depends upon it.

Senator Margaret Witson, in
an address to Congress dated July 6th, 2089
