One of my responsibilities is at work is to grade student essays (for those who don't know, there is now an essay on the SAT, and the whole exam is out of 2400 points.) These are essays that students write during simulated exams.
Some of these essays really suck. Nouns and verbs don't agree; past, present and future tense are all mixed together; double negatives; conversational English. I'm surprised that I haven't yet seen any IM/text message abbreviations. "I think that 2 B happy U must B able 2 communicate successfully." Except that the last two words are probably too complicated.
