hav yu ever red an article that looked lyke dis.

If you have then it probably made you sick. Students who are about to graduate from high school cannot spell properly and have little to no grammer skills. Notice i typed grammer, not grammar.

It's things like this that make the older generations worried about the future. If i were an employer and someone didn't use proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling then i would probably tear my hair out.

I understand that on social networks people will talk however they please. The problem arises when students turn in assignments with spelling mistakes and grammar issues. It's not that they don't know how to write properly or sound professional, it's that they don't care anymore. They will be pushed through the school system as slackers always have been.
 
I have personally witnessed one such case this year where a student made the first sentence of his blog, among these blogs on The Tiger Eye site, look like the Picasso of everything written in the world. This kid was gawd awefull in everythang dat he writed. It was pitifull. I wasn't mad at the student, i think he was one of the few who couldn't improve his writing skill unless someone pushed him along.

He wasn't the one who I was concerned about, it was the teacher who accepted the work and was just happy he got it done. She was even caught saying, "At least he got it done."

The real tragedy was for the student, who was rewarded for something that looked like a second grader wrote it.
