		<description>Frankly, I have to say that I'm surprised there's not a higher number of people who feel that their writing has "greatly" degraded.

They interviewed 300 people in the middle of June via a private internet questionnaire. Exactly half the sample was of each sex, and similarly exactly a sixth were in their teens (well, aged 18 or 19), a sixth in their twenties, and so on up to the sixties. [...]</description>
