    Bad Grammar, or what ?

    Is it just me? Or is the volume of poorly written posts on this site increasing? Dyslexia,laziness,carelessness or occasional typo errors, I don't know, but this can't be a representative sample of our society. If it is, where have we gone wrong ?

    Must be the hammer. Can't be the thumbs up button :-}

    It seems to me, while schoolwork may be perfectly composed, the youth now strive to project an ignorant persona when not be graded.....and many of them "is" quite successful.

    It's not cool to be a smart kid....better to be a high school drop out and wander the malls all day. (We seem to have more and more of those here.)

    Sad isn't it.

    Pathetic, especially if "Grandma" let "Mom" run wild.
    Maybe people are just being hasty, lazy or informal. After all I don't think we are being graded on any questions. Just reaching out for help from a friendly community. What bothers me more then grammar would be the obsene or questions in very poor taste.

    Since we usually don't know a thing about a commentator and we can't accurately guess at the body language, the written word is the only medium that we have to shape our perception of the individual's query.

    That said, I think that we DO "grade" the commentators, whether we do so consciously or not.

    As for obscene comments, that's entirely another matter.

    I am with you digger, thumbs up.
    Dyslexia in my case, but I am often too hasty with my post button.
    digger

    Our education system is failing.

    Thanks eggplant!
    I agree with you digger. I think it's done mostly by teenagers who are used to phone texting and couldn't care less about spelling.They either don't know how to spell or they don't care.
    All of the above. I don't know how they get jobs.
    digger

    Can you imagine what their resume looks like if it's not done by a pro ? Goodbye job.
    Sorry to hear that Jenn not everyone has perfect grammer and I don't think everyone on here has to. We should concentrate on the questions and try to help each other.
    Jenn

    Why are you sorry, I am fabulous.. Dificultly helps you work hard and grow, you can evaluate what is trully imporant and laugh at the rest. My spelling is certianly laughable!

    Good for you Jenn, sand paper principle. "Never let the bastards wear you down" Keep up the good work even though I don`t always agree with you I respect you.
