I try. I can Google with the best of 'em.
Glenn, the "you" was to Jillio. I didn't purposely delete the name, it just didn't magically appear when I cut and pasted the quote from her post.
Ok, well, then, find and refute (um, not "rebuke") then. I'm really interested. I was an English teacher years ago, teaching college-level writing to budding electrical engineers, and I swear, that was like teaching English as a Second Language. Some of those guys really struggled with spelling and writing generally. I thought at that time that the issue was that those guys thought very visually, not verbally, and thus had problems.
I would imagine that for deaf children who did not have exposure to listening to language, learning to write would also be like dealing with a foreign language. I'd love to see the research that shows how they acquire good spelling and other language skills.
All I have to do is ask you a question. That question would be do you really believe that the average hearing person is actually at 12th grade English?
