Can't anyone write with decent grammar anymore?

There have been reports of adults in England not having basic grammar and maths skills, so this comes as no surprise. I for one can be considered as a Grammar Nazi, even though I don't really show it much on this site. For example, my friend who's a writer like me. Her grammar was terrible, so I converted her to doing the style that I do it in. Call me a pest, but I couldn't even stand the fact that she couldn't put her paragraphs properly. On topic, there are some people that can write with decent grammar. However, maybe those that can just can't be bothered to when they're on a site like this whereas others do bother.

tl;dr -> Mistakes are ok as long as you still understand one another. People can't accept this.

Note, however, that there is line between simple error and murdering your native language.

English grammar is kinda confusing to me sometimes, like how I use the correct phasal verb? or this tense I use is correct? I haven't spoken English often. But try to use it my best. I'm not pleased if someone type the number instead of 'too' or 'for or anything that's irritable.. >_>

Okay, so I've just finished looking over some 20+ college level reports (from fellow classmates) to correct for grammar.
And, OH MY GOD, can't anyone write decently anymore?

I think the reason why is because there are so many rules regarding grammar and most people just can't remember them all. Personally, I hate it when people cannot spell common words correctly. Why you ask? IT JUST TICKS ME OFF!!!!

The errors that the OP found were extremely basic.

And I think that pretty much sums this thread up.
