Michael:
Just to add to your observations/suspicions, which I share:  I was
thinking the other night about the way people respond to claims
about student writing (or, rather, make those claims).  When the
students can't write crowd talk about how students can't write,
they seem to talk about the comma, misplaced modifiers, etc.,
mistakes beginning writers make.  Now isn't that interesting?
