    Ah, yes, technology's boon is the grammar/spelling stickler's bane.

    I remember picking up an Awake! magazine written in Pidgin English - I guess they don't have a word for "devil" so they called Satan "da badman" - I laughed myself silly at the time.

    Love, Scully (pining for the Queen's English class)

    I know how you feel UncleBruce™. I used my two post allocation up on Fluff yesterday and now I’ve got huge news to tell (a revised date for Armageddon™), and can’t start a thread off.

    I wonder if ol' Willy Shakespeare got flak for the guerilla attack he made on the English language back in the day? Or did he fall back on the tired old excuse of "Well, I've written a bazillion plays and sonnets... what have you done lately?"

    Give the next generation an opportunity to reproduce.... all it takes is a little bugger telling his daddy to "FU" to make them realize that a good example is the best teacher.

    What I've noticed is kids coming to work for huge blue chip companies who not only think it's acceptable in business corresponence, but actually think it's somehow "cool". They just don't get it. I can see in the future, organisations asking for young employees to do basic English literacy courses or asking for samples of writing like they did years ago.
