We need a new way to measure smarts. A IQ only tells you how smart you can be. Common sense is not common in fact it's endangered. The U.S.A is populated by people who are mentally lazy. The don't think because they don't have to. The say Einstein only used 10% of his brain. It would seem that the general public doesn't use their brains at all.

Canada's even worse off: we get the best (worst?) from the US and England (and everywhere else, it seems).
I proofread essays for University students, and I've started to think that Business, Administration, and (God help us) Engineering students don't actually talk, they just point at things and grunt.
[Actual excerpt from a 2nd year Admin student essay]
Quote:[/excerpt]
By eliminating trade tariffs between Canada and China, Canadians can consume higher quality goods and services that imported from China at lower prices. Canadian workers can specialize in the products and services that they have higher productivity than Chinese workers and exchange for goods and services that China has a competitive advantage to product. For example, Canada has less competitiveness in manufacturing industry but exporting forest and agricultural products, which China has insufficient materials. Canada can import textiles, foot wares from China and exports agricultural products, benefited from producing more efficiently and consuming higher quality goods at lower prices. The wages of the Canadian workers would increase as a result of specialization and free trade.
I appreciate that a good number of Ottawa U's Engineering/Business/Admin students are foreign, either recent immigrants or in country to study before returning to their homelands, but if they're taking the course in English, there really should be some higher standard. (Or just offer the course in Chinese, Indian, French, or any of the other native languages I've encountered in this work.)
The faculties should really make it a point to put them through some kind of linguistics course. Most of these essays appear to have been written in other languages then translated in Babelfish.
English majors have to go through non-English courses (philosophy, political theory, history, etc), why can't Business students be handed a few English courses as pre-reqs?

Is this why companies suck these days? They hire kids with expensive degrees, but no actual ability to read or comprehend?
How do they even learn Human speech?
