As mentioned
previously, most of my posts are crammed in little one minute frames between people wandering past my desk, so punctuation, grammar and aliteration come below getting the point across quickly.

No, im not going to spell check this.

Fair enough,
that's a perfectly valid excuse in my opinion.

Personally I just like the English language - I find it a very fluid language and I love the way it evolves continually.

However - going back to 1984 by George Orwell I have to agree that the language is deteriorating, and that we (the younger generations), are losing touch with literacy and grammar.
There is nothing I hate more then getting a text from a friend saying "hi wnt 2 meet up 4 movi?" not because it's from my friend but because of the way it's written.

It's an English speaking country we live in, therefore we should know how to write and speak the fucking language.

I got an A+ on both my English exams last year and that was in a class for students a year higher then I was. I looked at the other kids in my class, who were all older then me, and I just couldn't believe that they didn't know how to construct an essay or write a coherent sentence.

It's not that bloody hard to read and write properly.

EDIT: Thanks antichrist. And yes I am 17. On Saturday.
