Why is it cool to spell things wrong on purpose? I'm bad at spelling, but I don't spell things wrong on purpose because "itz c00l." What the fuck is up with this? I thought it was just a phase at first and only an American thing. But nope I see it from posters who claim they are from canada and Europe as well. The funny thing is, no one realizes how much they are fucking themselves over in the future. Very few people can even write and speak their first language well. What the fuck... the said thing is most of the younger generation can't seem to switch it off anymore. When I was younger I used and still use the short hand lol, brb, ttyl, etc but I can write correctly if I have a damn paper due for class. Reading over some younger relatives papers, I constantly have to correct mistakes they shouldn't be making at their level. I mean come on. Granted I usually post before I read over what I write on chat boards, I'm not talking about simple word misplacement. I'm talkin bout spelin evrything wrong bcuz itz so fuckin sweet. All it does is make me and many others not read what you have to say.

I was talking to a graduate student at my university the other day and he was grading some English 101 papers. He showed me a few and I was shocked how bad many of them were. Some of them actually had slang and words spelled wrong in the same annoying way I see them here. With a "z" replacing an "s."

I'm convinced the internet and AIM are helping make America and other nations dumber than we already are.

Oh and bling bling and bootylicious are now in the dictionary. WTF?
