    Kinda felt sorry for the horse...........



    I will agree though and my 19 yo is a prime example. He can't compose a paper to save his keester. Spelling, composition, punctuation and grammer are a foreign concept unless he is composing it on the computer and can hit "spellcheck".
    We shant discuss his handwriting skills but man can he text

    I'm not sure if you wrote this intentionally, or if you really do not understand what's wrong with your spelling; therefore, I refuse to comment about it.

    My wife teaches 7th grade history but had to teach an english class this year due to being dual qualified (really the only thing that saved her job). She finally had to buckle down and tell the kids if they write papers like they text she will just toss them in the trash and give them a 0. She brought some of the papers how to show me and I was amazed.

    I guess I had it a little tough growing up with both parents being teachers. Now I appreciate it.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Reading facebook and threads on the internet really make you realize that the written word is going to hell, and is pretty sad. I'm an instructional/graphic designer, so that stuff is pretty important to me...

    Chatting on a forum versus a formal document are not the same. I can guarantee if I am composing a report for work or any other purpose:

    It's pretty bad when you ask a question, or have something for sale, on a forum and then need to ask the closest teenager to translate a response you got.

    Reminds me of a recent conversation with a DISH Network customer service representative. She actually said, "O-M-G" after viewing an error on my account. Kids...

    When people spell out or pronounce things like that, it makes me want to punch them in the face. I hear people try to say "LOL" all the time, and it makes me cringe...

    Wouldn't the OP's statement need a comma?

    Help your uncle Jack, off a horse.

    Help your uncle Jack off a horse.

    In the second statement, Jack could be a proper noun for a sick god-damn sex act*, and not necessarily a name of a person.

    It's like the following

    Let's go eat Grandma.
    or
    Let's go eat, Grandma.

    *see Tijuana Crime Scene
    Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    Haw haw haw?..
