What is this internet world doing to our language

I am reminded of a very sad thing here.

Wow. Yeah, it's a real problem. I'm guilty of using it with AIM and texting sometimes. The more you use it, the more it becomes second nature and that's where the problem is.

"But most students realize that they need to put their adolescent spellings behind them by the time they get to college."

I wish that were true. But maybe it's just Arizona... we're not exactly the pinnacle of higher education.

You probably mean "a long" in the fourth sentance, then. And you should probably put a period after that etc.

The irony is killing me.

[kelizra]

"a long" was obviously a typo.

And yes, I should have put a period after that etc. I originally had an ellipsis but decided against that.

I did use punctuation and capitalization and that was the point of the post. Notice I said "I try to always write correctly." No, I don't proofread all my posts.

If it's killing you then maybe you won't be alive to make any more uncalled for comments to my LJ. Thank you.

I have no idea what that means. Please use correct English.

I agree. Seriously.
