When is poor spelling and grammar ok?
The inspiration for this thread came from one of the crappy current affairs programs on TV (or it might have been one of the good ones, I cannot remember), which basically pointed out the low level of english skills of people graduating from school. Another source of inspiration was this article , which is related to the poor mathematical skills, so I guess it's of a similar trend but unrelated.
I personally wish people would use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation when using the internet and sms because I feel that this is contributing to the decay of the english language and the standard of english skills that people feel they should have. I see so many people say "this is just the internet, who cares" and then perhaps they wonder why they also have trouble in other everyday life applications. I also wish people would be more mindful of this when using this particular board because we're trying to promote ourselves as responsible and intelligent drug users.
So, is this a topic we'd like to discuss?
