Im a time served printer having completed a 4 year apprenticeship (20 years ago).
Things have come along a bit from the old days of "comps" putting together every sentence, one letter at a time, now anybody can string a few words together put it through spell checker and call them selves what ever title they wish. I remember when I first started, the comps and proofreaders were very much revered (and also very highly paid) and things like grammar? were of the utmost importance. I think its just one of the many signs of the time and the importance has been lost to "productivity" and has also been pointed out the educational system has alot to answer for
