    Unfortunately, it is a dying art at the very time that it is most needed. As a retired English teacher, I find it abominable how so many people have corrupted the language. Even "professional" writers of newpaper and magazine articles have issues with usage and mechanics. There are often mistakes in novels that I read, indicating a lack of a knowledgeable proofreader before the book went to press. I fear that very few of our college graduates can write a pargraph devoid of errors; this includes English majors.
