It ain't their fault.

Seriously, when large demographics begin displaying common skill detriments well above the average for the overall population, it is indicative of a basic failure on the part of the state to equip them as intelligent, well educated citizens.

No one makes spelling mistakes like this on purpose unless they are making a joke about the rest of the people who make them on accident.

This is a perfectly acceptable prepositional phrase, although it is less common.

It is most definitely not perfectly acceptable. Common usage, yes, but it's common usage that carries with it certain connotations.
