LOL. Remember back in the 1990s when the internet was promoted as a means of spreading unlimited knowledge, unleashing of freedom of speech, and universal creativity and expression for all?

The banality, state control, and porn have risen to the top.

“The site has been looking to become increasingly focused on video and audio as the internet moves away from content people can read and toward content people can see or hear.”

You just thought we already had poor literacy already.

Something I’ve noticed on Facebook, in some groups I follow on automotive repair and the like, is that older guys may have poor writing skills, but it’s the familiar types of errors, you can understand what they are saying.

The younger guys will write sentences that are simply ambivalent and also include the regular grammatical errors. You literally can not be sure what they are trying to say.

People will make assumptions about what each other is saying, based on regularly used terms in the context they are used.

For instance, someone will ask a question, and they will get three different answers, which are good answers, but good answers to three different questions.
