Yeah, I dunno.  I s'pose even in my youth I was amongst the odd ones out, I
enjoyed reading, read everything I could slap my eyeballs onto. And that may
give heavily rose shaded glasses.  But there were plenty that had trouble
with it back then too, for the most part they were children of migrants for
whom english was pretty much a second language.

Still furiously scrubbing at those lenses, I'm pretty sure in the limited
circles I travel, and I've mostly only got family to go by these days, those
germinations that arrived later seem to have a much higher proportion of low
grade morons in the english dept.  They appear to rely much more on the
visual aspect of things rather than the written word.
