Another mile marker on the highway of civilizational decline.

Where's yer grammer?

My grammer's in the kitchen baking cookies.

“..Slipping skills due to email, twitter, etc.”

The real culprit is the publik skool system where self esteem, political correctness and liberal brainwashing is more important than teaching grammar.

[AppyPappy]

People speak, like, really bad, you know.

[lysie]

Ain't that the truth.

[bcsco]

Managers are fighting an epidemic of grammar gaffes in the workplace. Many of them attribute slipping skills to the informality of email, texting and Twitter where slang and shortcuts are common. Such looseness with language can create bad impressions with clients, ruin marketing materials and cause communications errors, many managers say.

To a degree perhaps. But the big problem stems from our failure to properly educate.

[Sudetenland]

Obama routinely uses the article "a" prior to a noun beginning with a vowel . . . this from a "Harvard Law School graduate (magna cum laude LOL!!!), "Editor" of the Harvard Law School Journal, and broadly touted "smartest man."

Show me the records. I don't for one minute believe that Obama earned any of his degrees; I believe he was given them.

[TigerClaws]

Racis’!

[Truth29]

And sooner or later Mr. Garner will be sued because he hasn’t established the job related link between grammar and spelling and packing boxes.

[cripplecreek]

“Anyways” instead of “Anyway” irritates me a great deal.

[NoKoolAidforMe]

The under 30 workforce is particularly illiterate and lacking in communication skills. They cannot puncuate an email, draft a business letter, ask coherent questions, and use “like” and “you know” in every uttered sentence.

Stalin’s useful idiots.

[chrisser]

My pet peeve is “yourself”

As in

“How are you doing?”

“Fine, and yourself?”

Argh!

This Embarrasses You and I

Everyone knows it should be, "This embarrasses you and MYSELF". /s

[tflabo]

Sometimes I read people spelling quiet as’ quite’.
Quite annoying really. The Brits accuse the Yanks of butchering the language. Quite bloody right ya blokes.

[al_c]

It’s expecially important that you and me use proper grammar ... irregardless of where we work.

[misanthrope]

“And he requires employees to have at least two other people copy-edit and make corrections to every important email and letter that goes out. “

You never begin a sentence with “And”. It’s a rule.

[cuban leaf]

What r u talking about?

[jiggyboy]

It might be irreversible. I wrote on another thread yesterday that I see or hear eighth-grade spelling or usage errors every single day on network news. It doesn’t matter what network or what subject. I’m not talking about complicated science terms or words — my example yesterday was the incorrect “Lamier” instead of “Larimer” county, site of the Colorado wildfires. What’s worse, some stories have it right and some have it wrong, and it’s been that way for a WEEK. So not only do they make the mistakes, nobody with a six-year-old’s reading and reasoning ability is able to do anything about it.
