The 17 September Telegraph reports the results of the GCSE exam in the Mother Country. 31,036 teenagers took the exam and demonstrated an abysmal grasp of written English. Some highlights:

The use of "gonna, aint, wanna and shouda"
The use of slang and street language
The failure to use a capital letter for the first person pronoun.
The use of text messaging spelling, e.g. m8 and u.
The lack of proper paragraphing.
The confusion of homophones (their, there, they're)
The absence or misuse of the apostrophe

This is further proof that the descriptivists are winning and that the prescriptivists are elitist obstructionist dinosaurs.
