Bah, horrible grammar overload!

I've been assigned to read a collection of letters written to Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt by poor people during the Great Depression.

THESE PEOPLE SUCK AT WRITING. Remember wducknuts? He wrote 10 times better than most of these people. This is literary torture.
