Wow!
We’re living in a parallel universe.
I was hired as a proofreader for a local branch of a huge publishing house right after high school [but I can’t recall the name] and a week before I was to start, they moved the branch to another state.
I was *really* good at spotting errors and now I always have to restrain myself from posting a “spelling/grammar lame” during a FR flame war.
[I’m usually able to control it...but not always]...;]
As I get older, I'm actually getting better. i did a spellcheck on a piece today, and there was only one error in 15 pages. So maybe I'm just a slow learner. p>As a favor for someone I know I did a check on his senior final project and almost slit my wrists. Pygmies have better command of the English language.
We are just typing our thoughts.
Not taking a grammar test.
But i see what you are getting at.
Today’s “Children” neither know how to spell or write.
It is really pretty much over.
OVER.
I read the comments section of my local paper and just drop my head in sorrow.
