Why is it that the further we get from the stone age

Seriously, 1/2 the posts out here on the internet read like they were written by Cro-magnon.

I have no answer for this question nor a witty remark, but it literally hurts my brain sometimes trying to read what some people post on the internet.

roflmao - We get a lot of that on the internet. Makes me what to punch people that can't be bothered to properly type out a damn three letter word. I and A are the only two letters allowed to stand by themselves

I may not have the best grammar, but i do try and break up what I type so it's easier to understand. That wasn't the worst I've read, try the gaming world and their "1337" speak...

That is just YTMND... they live to expose stupid things on the internet. To be honest, they do a wonderful job of it.

Sure sometimes I find myself confused, or just in awe at the things I see on that website... but I haven't found a time where I didn't want to just lmao about it.

There is some very sad truth that I have come to realize though: That is almost collegiate level writing on their part compared to most peoples real life hand writing and spelling/grammar use these days. All of these basic skills are becoming more and more terrible as people continue to rely on word processing, which does everything for them.

It is all the same with calculators and peoples ability to do basic math without them... a lot of people my age that I have met, couldn't begin to do math without a calculator if they were to try. The truly sad part about that is the fact that they don't see the need to learn how to do it without one... they always make up an excuse saying that they will always have one there for them, and it is "ok" to rely on the use of one.

im just gonna go ahead and be honest......i slept threw english.....never paid attention.....i just didn't give a damn....not smart of me i know....regret it now but in all honesty is not effecting my life or my work and i very rarely have to write anything..not an excuse i know but im not going to go take classes just to appease the forum gods

it was my own stupidity and laziness....after changing schools 14 times i kinda just stop caring....dropped out at 18 and went to work doing what i love....i don't recommend that but thank god im good at what i do and thats all that matters....

but i honestly cant figure out whats more lame.....people who spell like shit....or people who go out of their way to point out spelling errors....its almost like some only read threads just to remark on ones horrible grammar.
