Is this sentence grammatically correct?

Is this sentence grammatically correct? If not, can anyone tell me why it isn't?

Thanks much!!

Sentence: At least you can string a complete sentence together, which is more than can be said of some college-educated people these days.

I'd change 'said of' to 'said about' or 'said for', like this,

At least you can string a complete sentence together, which is more than can be said about/said for some college-educated people these days.

Casi,

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I know that 'said of' is grammatically correct. It's the rest of the sentence I'm asking about. I'm 99.9% sure the sentence is correct but a friend doubted it.. we have to settle a bet

One exclamation mark is sufficient.

All the best,

Just to be ****!

1. I think "said of" is ok, as is "said about". Not so sure about "said for", though.

2. Yes, one exclamation mark is sufficient.

3. I would write: "At least you can string together a complete sentence, which is more than can be said of some college-educated people these days."
