- NEW!

Spell check makes you lazy. You no longer have to retain information because it's all at your fingertips if you have a computer.
As for grammar - prior to the Internet, how would you have known if other people know how to properly structure their sentences? It's just more known now because more people share their thoughts on open forums like this.
I don't hold improper grammar against anyone - it's been almost 20 years since I took an English class and I couldn't remember what a gerund is to save my life. It's the spelling that drives me insane - even if it was spelled incorrectly on purpose. Spell check is just one click on your mouse!

You're reading Why are language and spelling unimportant these days? Between abbreviations, misspelled words and the inability of many to grammatically form a sentence, I don't understand why language has lost its significance.
