Today’s lazy people no longer care about grammar(and darn little aboute grampa)!

Indiana has decided not to require cursive writing in school . But then I see more and more people who turn on a computer ,bring up Word, and then retrieve the printout from down the hall ,rather than sim,ply jot a brief note on a pad.

I've actually seen a resurgence of proper grammer lately. Five years ago it was common on most forums to see lazy "texting" posts with no capitalization or punctuation everywhere but now it is rare to find even a misspelling.

People are too afraid to come across as dumb and uneducated and hence discounted so were forced to learn to write properly.

I don’t claim to be a expert on Granmma.
Cuz, I know it will tic off Gramps.

Do you ever used Craiglist ads? Very entertaining and sad at the same time.

Forget about grammar! Have you heard newspeople saying “pitcher” instead of “picture”? This one is happening all over the place.
