I don’t really follow your logic between pointing out that 1. These people say their kids are intelligent and 2. That there are spelling and grammatical errors in their comments. They seem pretty mutually exclusive to me. Unless you’re trying to say that grammatically whimsical people are doomed to having stupid children.

Spelling and grammatical errors are more often linked to effort and attention than actually knowing the semantic difference. I’m sure most of these people, if you quizzed them would see their mistakes. It’s true that for the sake/pride of our language we should pay attention, but it really has little to do with intelligence IMHO.

What is really stunning about all this… is the comments that talk about kids and how smart they are, but the comments themselves are filled with spelling and grammatical errors…

Seriously, what are we becoming when people don’t know the difference between your/you’re or there/their or how to compose a sentence using correct English.

Call me a Grammar Nazi if you want to but in a world where written communication is becoming the norm, it matters.

I agree with coolrepublica that it’s stupid to to a study to confirm what all parents know.

My daughter 2 years 8 months old always tries to use my Mac as a touch screen. She gets frustrated that she touches the iPhone screen to play videos, but in my laptop the screen doesn’t respond.

Everything Nielsen found with his study parents know since day 1.

There might be some relation between literacy and search habits. Kids 3-5 don’t search, but 11-12 year olds do. I wonder what changed in those years… Could it be they learned to read? Search is an effective tool when you understand what you’re looking for.
