[Leica] declining quality now why are these illiterates

Folks - 

When I decided to become active in this users' group I figured it would
be a good idea to keep my postings limited to discussion of photos and
the tools/techniques involved in their production.  Once again, I find
reason to change my position.

I teach at a college here in Chicago.  Most of my students are jazz
majors; some are involved in music engineering.  However, once every
year I teach a course in jazz history that's open to students outside of
the music school; written reports are part of the coursework.

The impression I have is that beyond weaknesses in grammar and style
there lies a much larger problem, which is that many of these students
don't see any reason why they should care about how well they're able to
express themselves in writing.
