I'm in Hawaii. You would not believe the nonsensical squiggles that pass for "signatures" here. At least with Pres. Obama, you can clearly make out the letter "O," at least. I used to think it was so weird because he is a "Lefty." But... Nope.
Schools here are dreadfully bad--- at least the PUBLIC schools. I listen to many people on the bus, or going from here to there. They actually graduated from high school, and THAT is the best English they can produce? Folks here say there is a local "pidgin" English dialect. That's not a dialect. That's just very bad English.
