	If Canadian Universities admit students of *any* origin who
write like the examples below, and do not lift a finger to help
them improve, the institutions deserve precisely what they get,
a proper reputation for encouraging the linguistic mediocrity
they themselves have fostered.

	But Canada alone cannot bear the blame. I can attest from
having given seminars in the U.K. that the plain decline in these
vital human skills is widely prevalent. As a Cambridge don told
me after a group of department heads had been unable to distinguish
between fails and passes on Concordia UWT papers, even Oxford and
Cambridge are Vanity Fair where --at least in the Humanities--
name dropping and ideological yea-saying are worth much more than
real argument.

	This is not a losing battle. The battle was lost a decade or
two ago. We can only try to patch the wounds.

	A local example: the infamously laughable "CEGEP Exit Test"
has a 90+% pass-rate imposed upon it by the Quebec Ministry of 
Education, and is graded without any controls.

	Vanity indeed.

	Harry Hill
