CM, Et all,

I here what you're saying, but!

I had a long chat with an (admittedly American), English teacher this weekend, and they no-longer (in 'Murica), teach spelling, grammar or syntax.

When I asked her, "Why"? She replied, "The internet does that for you now".

It's a valid point, to which I had no answer.

I, as an individual, can't get all bent out of shape by spelling, commas and all the rest.

In the new age of text language, the rules will be torn up. Get used to it. I'm sick off the English pedants that attempt to be-little those that don't obey their rules. If you understand the message, who cares! I'm also fairly sure that I can make those pedants look like utter fools if they engage me on a topic that doesn't involve English.



I'll bang my head on the OP's behalf, the pedants can just **** off!
