People is illiterite duspite teknologie
It's staggering to me that we have this technology that has become a vital part of life in less than ten short years, yet people communicate more poorly than ever. I've seen it everywhere. I get e-mail from recruiters all of the time that look like they were pecked out by a 14-year-old crack addict with hands too unsteady to type the right letters. In my big corporate jobs, I didn't see it from other code monkeys that often, but from outside departments (help desks, HR, etc.).
If you've been to any online forum that covers something you're interested in, you've seen the worst of it. If you like video games, you're really screwed, because I can't remember the last time I saw a coherent video game forum.
I have a strict grammar and spelling policy for my sites. It really pisses off some people, but they leave, and that's fine. I just refuse to allow my little corner of the Internet to be over run with what we like to call "brain-dead AOLer speak."
