I teach at one of the top-fifty research universities in the US, mostly to undergraduate business students - but occasionally to graduate ones as well (MBAs). While I should refrain from commenting on the skills and capabilities of my own students in any extensive manner, let me just say this - I doubt the great majority would be capable of successfully proofreading a comic book. 'Subtle' distinctions between "it's" and "its" or "lose" and "loose" are completely lost on many of them. If graduate students at a research university are unable to spell, where are proofreaders supposed to come from?
