And yet most seniors in college cannot properly formulate sentences, use spell check, or write papers in the correct format. I have always needed to proofread and correct the papers of every group I've ever been in. Evidently the required English classes aren't teaching people anything

Well, when you grow up texting things like, "R u coming over to the party. Lol" You don't learn proper spelling or sentence structure.

I blame it all on texting. I constantly have to remind my nieces and nephews of this.

The "laziness" of texting carries over into their schoolwork or business writing.
