Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll read it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcusae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?
I regret joining so late in the game but I thought this might make it worth the effort of reading all the way down to #77. Besides, the inserting of like between every word stopped being clever after the second post. Even those of you who don't see a need for proper grammar in speech can agree that where your generation had a relaxed view of language, mine is growing worse with every hedonistic fad. You seem to live in something of a culture bubble if you think 'like' is still a problem. Have you not seen the swill coming out of instant messengers? Gone are the days of ubiquitous place holders, now you're lucky to get a word spelled in its entirety, excluding cases where numbers are used in their place. I certainly don't expect the world to spout William Blake back and forth but can we at least have actual words? That's where that relaxed attitude becomes a problem. Slipping from formal to casual is perfectly fine, but we're going from casual to unintelligible. It's ok to be a little alarmist.
Can't we all just join hands across America for the end of lol?
