Grammar is lost on todays kids.... Of course thats what they said about my generation too...
I think its the texting
I think its the texting & auto correct on today's computer word processors.
Ive never been the best at grammar and spelling, but the auto spell check has actually helped me improve my spelling. I type it the way I think it is then I see the way it should be. Over time when I keep getting corrected I remember the correct spelling.I believe it isn't the texting and such, just the belief that it is ok to use bad grammar. I'll text in the traditional scenes of the word, but when it comes to emails and forums, I use proper grammar.
Is it an education issue, or is there a different reason why so many people can't figure this out?
If the kid is on a third grade level he should be in the third grade and I don't care if he is 17 or not.
The schools need to teach the things they were put there to teach...
...and not the stupid crap they keep wasting time on.
Nate will you sail me some parts. not as common, but it does happen.
...talking about basic manners, moral and ethical values, decision-making skills, home and life skills, etc. The schools should not have to teach kids that hurting other people is wrong, or instruct them in the finer points of fabric softener use; those can be done at home.
Anyway, we don't have any kids and I haven't been in school for many years, so I am simply going on what things look like from my outsider's perspective. long story short, it seems as though an awful lot of parents aren't part of their kids' lives anymore, or vice versa.

edit: for shits and giggles, quote your own post and then use the spell checker on it.
when I see that in peoples ads I wanna
I blame texting and aol! Both of those are teaching the young'ns to be lazy and that its ok to not spell worth a shiat.... I pride myself on at least half assed decent spelling...
"Peps let me no wut up wth pops parts gna b in da are in a bt"
I don't sell or sale, I just sail.
X2!!!...I got a text from my friend's 17 year old son who just picked up some parts from me for his dad...This is the text word for word:"Peps let me no wut up wth pops parts gna b in da are in a bt"
As an older brother of a "texter" let me translate for you...."Hello, Peps. Please let me know what is going on with Pop's parts. I am going to be in the area in a bit. Thanks!"
