It is indeed sad. I realized the other day that your average European teenager probably speaks and writes better English than your average New Orleans (where I live) public high schooler.

I was in New Orleans and vicinity a few weeks ago. I could hardly understand a word anyone said.

Including my brother.

I hope they were able to follow at least a little of what I said. They all nodded and smiled as if they did!
