Literacy Limps Into the Kill Zone

Ant writes to tell us that Wired has an interesting look at the current standards of writing and the general decline of spelling and grammar in today's "comic book generation." The author blames many of the problems on instant or near-instant communications stating that the slang developed is essentially eroding our ability to formulate coherent thoughts in writing when called upon to do so.

>I'm tired of cryptic email that is so full of typos, misspellings and mangled grammar

I'm tired of people who use the words "stupid" and "evil" for anything that they don't agree with. I'm tired of people who arrogantly use people who use one word sentences.

It appears that you have a problem with people who write you email. Address it with them, don't rant on other people. Doing so just shows how closed-minded you are.
