I have observed, on this group and many others, that sentences are used

Just after finishing with this group, I went to another. The first 
sentence I read was: "Last paycheck is Friday." How much Friday? I have 
now learned to write without verb or subject. :=)

Grammar is one of the least important things at schools these days.  :-(

There was an item in the newspaper here just this past week with
someone was complaining about the end of year school awards ceremonies
where they gave out something like 15 sports awards, 8 Maori culture
group awards, but only 3 actual academic excellence awards. If you were
to add in 10 awards for having "good lunchbox content", then you'll see
where school priorities lay these days.  :-\

(Of course, thanks to silly "Policitical Correctness", it amazing that
schools still give out awards at all, without EVERYONE being given
one.)

It is amazing how little attention is paid to grammar these days. 
Decent, if not perfect grammar, is required to communicate accurately. 
Maybe in informal conversation imperfect grammar with feedback is good 
enough.

In particular, a newsgroup dealing with computers should pay more 
attention to such matters. Try writing computer code without perfect 
syntax.

Did you ever notice that kids in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Canada, 
and USA who are going to their English grammar class for the first time 
don't seem to have any trouble communicating?  And yet they've never 
studied grammar.  What the ..... ?

Change is inevitable.
Liberals need to learn that “inevitable" is not a synonym for “good."

Evidence that we're hard-wired for grammar. Other evidence is in the
fact that the grammar of all known languages is fundamentally the same.
And, of course, the kiddies pick it up from their parents. But to grasp
the fine points, to be able to drive the language at full throttle, an
education in grammar is indispensable.

Usage migrates, particularly in English. New is always better and new 
usage is invented seemingly on a daily basis. The idea that 
communication depends on good grammar is false. Good grammar makes it 
easier, assuming of course that the person you're communicating with 
uses and understand grammar as well.

Machines are vastly less forgiving than humans relative to "communication".

That may be. Just because most people can understand despite poor 
grammar does not justify using poor grammar. I do remember a series of 
TV lectures by Leonard Bernstein in which he defined art as ambiguity. 
While that may be fine for painting, music, poetry, and other 
literature, being arty farty is not a good of promoting clarity.

Yep. There are schools here in New Zealand that refuse to keep score of
sports because that would mean one team / player is then the "loser",
and that's a "politically correct" no-no. They also give out awards
certificates to EVERY kid, making the certificate pointless.

You also are not allowed to say "disabled person" because that means
the perosn is seen as disabled first. Instead you have to say "person
with a disablity" so the person is (supposedly) seen as a person first.
Of course, these days you can't even say "disabled" either and have to
say "person with a {insert disability} impairment" instead.

The list of such "politically correct" stupidities is near-endless.

Thought so!  ;)

[I've] noticed an almost complete ban on the word "dead" or "died" or 
"killed" when referring to a deceased person. "Passed away" or just 
"passed" seems to be preferred on newscasts. Now did that movie actor 
who blew his mind out in a car "pass away"?? No, he was killed 
violently. Pass away refers to dying of old age or long illness. Or at 
least it used to.

If it's "near-endless," then you should easily be able to provide cites 
for each of the above claims.

They aren't "claims". They're facts. Whether you believe them of not is
your problem - I don't have the time nor the inclination to bother
trying to search for "cites" via a dial-up conneciton with limited
