For the love of me I just cannot understand where our education system went wrong. All the schools I went to were state schools, and before I went from primary school in 1954 to secondary school, all the kids in my class, myself included, could read, write, and do basic arithmetic. |

I vaguely remember half learning what verbs, adverbs, etc were, in primary school, but changing schools 6 times when there was no set curriculum meant I could leave one school having learnt a little about, say the Romans, and arrive at the next school half way through the Tudors. |

Lawyers sometimes argue that the absence of commas leads to improved understanding. But, what do they know! |

Punctuation is vital for proper understanding of the written word. Some legal documents are written without commas (in particular wills) and in order to do this the language is so garbled as to be only comprehensible to another lawyer. |
