Key word here would be the internet. Sure I know people who type like that, but when they go to class they dont write their english paper using forum "language" i guess you could call it

So I agree with coupe, spelling on a car forum...not that important

That's why we have so many illiterate kids, the internet lingo doesn't help, but sure I get what you're saying.

Well you were wrong sir. I'm pretty sure Detroit is the forerunner in curbing poor intArnet spelling and grammar, IIRC.
Also, I use stupid internet lingo all the time in texting and on here, sometimez I drop it in conversation just because I can. One of my majors used to be English, too. I decided against it ever since one of my professors failed a paper of mine for using the expression, "I got pwned" multiple times throughout an essay.

OH, no, no sweetie. We are in the new millenium, now we blame illiteracy, and other inconspicuous social problems on technology. Duh.

Poor school funding? Learning disabilities?? AHA, Nah...I mean No.

You do know what inconspicuous means right? I can tag a URL to the definition if the need arises...let me know.

Shoot, I say the schools are run by the public for the public. If you don't have parents who care about the school system you are going to have school systems who don't care about the children. That is one reason why we have illiteracy issues. That, and we have a lot of parents out there that don't care about their children's lives and what they will make of themselves, so a lot of children start to fail when not pushed enough and drop out. My Opinion.

Bryan · 05-22-2007, 09:22 PM

^Agreed. I don't think instant messaging or talking on a forum can be blamed for illiteracy. The majority of people who type like that are just as literate as someone who types proper and they just do so because it's quick and easy. They come on the computer and know they can say, "u no" and people will still understand it like, "you know."

05-22-2007, 09:24 PM

I guess it all boils down to the fact that everyone has their own opinion. That's it.

timberwoof · 05-22-2007, 11:58 PM

Yeah everybody has there own opinion, and not one single person is right or wrong about it.

We can also go as far to say as this new "text messaging" generation is messing these kids up now days. Just like the cell phone commercial where the little girl is doing nothing but saying initials for what she wants to say. Its ridiculous I know but hey it happens.
