Cali, your typing/spelling is just about what we are talking about here. Many of us are required to put a proper sentence together and spell correctly and when some people do the internet chat thing here, it irks many people.

I know that some of the younger people here will have a rude awakening when they reach the working world and the cannot write properly. I fault the schools. My parents were very, very strict about penmanship, writing, reading, speaking correctly. I cringe at the office when I hear people use the English language so very poorly. Education, education, education.

The internet is "in" but so is "Language".

Phred is permanently excused and most people of foreign descent know three or four languages and we would expect them to not know every word perfectly.

I think our school systems are working on the "dumbing down" mode these days. Very sad.
