In Pygmalion Henry Higgins spoke to people living in the streets of London about how they were committing , "the cold blooded murder of the English tongue."

None of you are living in poverty. Most, if not all of you, went to school or are going to school. You should know how to articulate yourself properly.

The Internet offers you a lot of information right at your fingertips, so why is it that it seems to make the world's population incapable of forming a proper sentence? Not to mention one with some real substance...

I'm sure, or at least i hope, that most of the obnoxious members here do not actually type in school assignments as they do in these forums.  That is, if you're directing your comment to this forum at all.

Thank you! I totally agree. I find too often people on this site that cannot even form the simplest of sentences to form any thing that could come close to making sense.

Nice post.

Does it matter? Language is not a type of art it's a technology, a means of communication. If everyone understands each other who cares?

That's just the problem. I don't understand half of these people. They type sentences which you cannot understand. It's impossible. It's in code!

Also, about the art quip, most poets would disagree with you on that one.

Language is the one art too few notice.

Oh I know exactly what you mean!

It's laziness in most cases. it still annoys the hell out of me, and if anyone writes a post in text speak to the point where I can't understand it, I don't reply. If they can't be bothered to articulate themselves properly (and I'm not talking about dyslexics or anything here!) then I can't be bothered to answer.
