No offence, but I wish that were true. At one stage in my life I had quite a bit to do with essays written by LLB students and later, with papers written by legal practitioners and social workers. I am no longer shocked by poor construction of sentences, lack of understanding of basic grammar, and inability to articulate thoughts clearly; but I am concerned that this is at least in part a consequence of the disjointed communication style now practised in social media.
