It's interesting to look at this kind of data, but there are a few correlation-causation flaws. For example, the final graph is titled "How Bad Grammer Affects Car Resale Prices". We cannot say that the bad grammar is the cause of the lower sale price, only that it is correlated. It is just as likely that undereducated individuals are correlatively more likely to own less expensive cars and use poor grammar.
