"My humble opinion is that it's just laziness. Unless you have severe dyslexia there's really no excuse. With everyone having predictive text and spell check available it's really not difficult. Obviously punctuation and the use of correct words is a different matter. " I actually do believe it’s difficult, for me to try and type some of the words I’m trying to say and use, and take me an awful long time for my phone to recognise what word I’m trying to type to correct it.  a friend advised me to use speech, which is better, but it’s a slow process. And by the time I’ve made an effort and come back to correct, it’s miss typing I often delete because I can’t be arsed
I just now pray, that people have had patience with me, and no, I’m not an illiterate head  | |||

"I'm with the OP being from the older generation, I sometimes wonder what the hell are people talking about. A lot I can work out but some no way
What is correct English grammar? I've listened to Shakespearean, Dickensian and "modern" English recently. Completely different, all 3 of them. What's right?
What about regional dialects? Or are we supposed to be a homogeneous mass?
Erm. Please can you cease and desist with the Greek? I'm an English speaker, don't you know?!
Oops, ma flin 'da fi "You are forgiven, Frida | |||
