I saw this the other day on my favorite website and thought I would share it. It seems like people on the internet, and occasionally here, have become neglectful of common grammar and spelling. I am not trying to start an argument but it makes a good point.

I'm guilty, but not for a lack of trying.

I fully agree with point you're making. I recemty got jumped on by a fairly new member on something very similar. In fact, 5thorsemann and psdenno came to my defense. I forgot to thank them so....thanks.

Thanks Carl for keeping me straight. I ain't never gonna make them mistakes agane. Doh!

Hah! I'm not trying to yell at people! With the invention of texting and instant messaging, people tend to forget punctuation and proper spelling. I have reached the age where all those young whippersnappers chap my arse sometimes. :-)

Carl

I'm tell'n ya. With the advent of the fancy electronics, speeling and punctation have gone all to hell.

CULPABLE,,,,,,, I will make efforts to remedy my future posts .

Rap music took diction down long ago. My bad.

Hey, it's "étiquette" not "etiquette".

And let's not forget the importance of punctuation.

"Let's eat, Grandpa." That is a statement that might come from a loving family member.

"Let's eat Grandpa." That is a statement that might come from depraved cannibal.

U r rite. I can't stand the lazy code people use when typing and texting. A typo is one thing, but poor grammar and sentence structure are making us third worlders. By the way, Steve, your example reminded me of that Twilight Zone episode, "To Serve Man".

You'll be over for dinner?
