That aggravates me too. Another is "their" and "there". People I know doing DEGREES don't know the difference. God, the standard of English Literacy in this world is declining rapidly.
Do you think that...
I think for those whose mother tongue's not English, anything from playing video games to watching tv helps. However, for native speakers the effect is minimal.

the body listens
What the flesh requires
keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks the mind will follow
When the body speaks all else is hollow

i dont know about "english" being as i already am fluent, being as i live in america. But i've learned a few tidbits of knowledge from certain games. The fallout series though really made me think about things i hadnt before.
kinda like watching TV. if you watch enough TV, you learn stuff subconciously.
thats my kinda friggan learning right there!
or if you live in a part of town where a different group of people live. like, i know people that had never spoken a word in spanish, then moved to the mexican area of town, when they came back they had a light mexican accent and knew almost fluent spanish.
