I would suggest before bemoaning the drop in standards to at least do a spell check on your posts. Otherwise you seem just a touch hypocritical.
Yes I noticed the spelling mistakes too, but people unable to do even the most basic of maths do really annoy me and I tend to get rather short with them over their incompetancy.

I was in a shop once where the person behind the counter couldn't add up £5 and £2 and what change should be given from £10. Seriously no one should be that stupid.

Being poor at maths does NOT make you stupid or incompetent. I'm intelligent and capable in plenty of ways, but never has numeracy been a forte of mine. It pisses me off to no end when people think there's only one way to be smart, and that it's with numbers.
I wasn't having a go at anyone who struggles with maths, but more very simple arithmetic. I mean seriously would anyone here really have had difficulty with the situation I described.
