Literacy Standards on Commercial Media

This evening I was watching Prime's alleged current affairs programme "Today Tonight", something I rarely do because it's a bit like reading "Thomas the Tank Engine."
In an article which launched from the low quality of many resumes being submitted to employers and then continued to talk about low standards in our education system, a graphic illustrating the basics of education read: "Reading Writing Arithmatic"
I couldn't believe my eyes! I even doubted my own nearly infallible spelling ability.
I won't be watching "Today Tonight" again in a hurry. Even Thomas the Tank Engine gets the spelling right.
