Stupidity or lazyness, I've noticed a collective global decrease in the quality of grammar, regardless of language. I'm actually quite fed up with it. I even had to correct the spelling of a 56 year old engineer today.

It can't be that 60% (made up stats ftw!) of the population in the civilized world are dyslexic. Some are, but most are just lazy.

I can imagine there coming a time not too far from now, when even schoolteachers can't compose a full sentence without spelling/grammatical errors.

There are two ways to go from here:

1. Continue being lazy spellers and call it "evolution of language"
2. Hit everyone on the melon with a 20lb dictionary

Edit: If Sarge would like to rewrite his OP a bit, I would gladly send this one to D&ST (although the poll options are a bit one-sided, this one could make a good discussion)

So it has begun already..

How can she grade tests? And think of the quality of language for some students in your class who actually listen to her and believe her.
