Civil Service
What is the state of education coming to in this country when a member of the Senior Executive Service—the highest ranking, most responsible employees in Civil Service, typically reporting directly to agency chiefs and cabinet secretaries—spells the word "though" with no U, G, or H in a business e-mail? Now, I feel like Andy Rooney, complaining about this, but the when the new vernacular is less precise than the old, language isn't evolving—it's devolving.
