Over here we have Primary school, then high school, then university (college) hence tertiary. In other words good writing skills, many have difficulty writing but not talking.
Some people stare at a blank page for hours and dont know where to start or how to write in sentences, paragraphs etc.
I think this stems from old stigma of anything written being sent back by the teacher with all these red marks and circles and a c- score! If there was
grammer scribbled on the column that really threw you out.
So, a reluctance to writing developed for many but simply not so for talking.
However we have left school now and need to write to communicate on these boards. Tertiary students realise that writing is just part of the deal and dont get hung up about it. Also the teacher is more interested in what the message is than hot it is delivered (within reason).
So, doesn't necessarily mean you had to go to uni but means you have to be able to write OK.
