Rose Said:

Do you find this to be true as well about people and writing/speaking skills?

We Answered:

As a 11th Grader, It's definitely true for me. I write essays which get 5 out of 6, and when it comes to class presentation I have to remind myself that how i sound when i speak. But i think it's only true for me when i am speaking english. I guess i am pretty good in my native language.

Wayne Said:

Has technology advanced or hampered writing skills?

We Answered:

Hampered
I'm an old-fashioned, strict English teacher. Since I began responding (in texting shorthand) to players during online games, even my spelling & punctuation have gone downhill.

Based upon the posts here, few people are fluent in written English.
