Seems like you go to a somewhat large, traditional university. I can only imagine what you hear daily. The community college I just finished didn't surprise me, but the university I'm at now I'm just in shock at how poorly people speak and write (one online class, one in person class). My in person class is mostly folks like myself who got a late start going for a degree, but there's a good 25% of the class that when they open their mouth my head starts to hurt.
