I didn't find a specific forum for this topic, so here is where I am.
Before the internet, I wouldn't commonly witness others spelling and grammar skills put to use. So I had just assumed that most everyone else also obtained (and retained) a similar understanding of the language. I mean, I realize not everyone is/was an English major in college, but what I'm seeing written nowadays by (alleged) adults wouldn't have been acceptable of elementary school students when I went to school. Just like obesity, it's become an epidemic and the saddest part is that those who speak out about it are labeled "insensitive" or "bullies".
It's now acceptable to be a 480lb illiterate transvestite hooker on methadone. FTW
