No doubt you are as alarmed as I by the tragic decline in America's language skills. If 10 people read the following sentence:
Two tanker trucks has just overturned in Alaska, spilling a totel of 10,000 gallons of beer onto a highway.
two would find an error in subject-verb agreement, two would find an error in spelling, and six would find a sponge and drive north.
