It affects us all. People write things in emails they wouldn't think of writing down on paper. Myself included. Definitely writing skills have declined with the advent of email, text messaging etc. Most times it doesn't matter at all, but when you are conducting business, it certainly does.

Very true,very!I caught myself filling out records at work and using this >........ run on sentence I tend to post up.Bad habits delvelope with such ease and are not at all easy to break away from.

After school (Back when you used stone tablets) I work where every thing is written in abbreviations. Same thing when it came to being on-line in chat rooms (Back in the day)

Now I am having to re-learn to spell and use proper grammar and living in Oz where they spell things slightly, differently does not help much.

Some poster had a test on this which should be bumped up to teach Saddoinans how to use the words correctly.

No i agree with you i also think why many people can't read or write etc, is because words like "Thought" "Fought" sound the same and people get mixed up. I know i did when i was younger.

Ive called you out a few times on your dubious grammar and sentence construction. Admittedly, you show signs of improvement. I shall bless you.
