I wish more people would take grammar seriously. I was a copy editor for a few years in college, and was amazed by some of the submissions I received. Not everyone is an English major; if you can't break down and diagram a sentence, that's fine. Not knowing basic differences between completely different words like "their" and "they're" and "there" is a major symptom of either the poor quality of education received or just plain not caring about proper usage.
