The Art Of Language

I consider myself well-versed in English Grammar (although like everyone I sometimes make mistakes.) Most of the time they are simple typos and not grammatical mistakes. I really can not stand when native speakers can not even speak their own language correctly. Every language is a complex system that has taken hundreds of years to evolve and every word has a specific meaning.
Of course I am not talking about people who learn a second or third language and can not speak it correctly or fluently since at least they are trying to better themselves.
While English does not have the gender issues like most other languages we are known for having one of the most vast vocabularies. I am sick and tired of hearing people butcher words and grammar. An example is the word "ask." Many people say "ax" instead. If they did ax someone then they should be sent to jail. There are many other examples.
I think we should start requiring everyone (except those with physical or mental problems) who constantly misuse words and grammar to go to special schools and learn the correct usage. Language is supposed to convey expression and meaning, but nowadays all it is showing is people's ignorance and laziness to learning the correct usage.
