<<you know what I mean anyway>>

To which the best reply is, "if I know what you mean anyway, I don't need to waste time reading your words in the first place."

But let's not condemn the younger generation out of hand. My kids have worked harder than I did for admission to highly competitive schools and to graduate magna cum laude. They may be slightly less punctilious about grammar, but they know a lot more cell biology and math along with their humanities majors.

The problem may be that few employers discriminate between different qualities of educational attainment. Not whining: an excellent education is a good in itself.
