I fear for the next generation

Posted on April 26, 2006 By admin 9 Comments on I fear for the next generation

I've been browsing phone reviews for a phone I plan on getting to replace my old and busted one. People's grammar is atrocious. I'm not a grammar nazi but I know how to use a spell checker and can generally write a paragraph with nothing more than the odd typo.

Some of those are just… well, have a look for yourself:

    GAH!
    *scours eyes*

    I gather that this particular phone is alpha… Good to know that “expecialy da pink [v3] 1” is “more fashionable and mor popular” as this is how I tend to choose communication devices.

    Actually I made the “fone” mistake once. When I was eleven and had just started learning English.
    I just checked the dictionary, and if charlie wants to spell correctly, he should write bovvered… though I really like “doe.”

    i know, but still… A chav accent is one thing. Spelling homicides like that are in a class by themselves…
