Bob Yates does not respond to Robert Reis's actual literacy
statistics.  If those statistics are true, how did so many people
become literate without a public school system?  And does the
current education establishment have anything to do with the
resistance to grammar that many of us have experienced?

True, Robert Reis's posting does not contain any grammar tips.
But members of this listserve do need to be aware that grammar
has somehow become a political issue, strangely enough.
