I have to say I've had this same conversation with several people over the past year or so. Actually sitting them down and explaining it to them, even drawing a graph like that trying to get it through their thick skulls what exactly they are saying and what it means.

Fun times, fun times.

I'm with him on the spelling thing, but not on a proper English basis, more like just nobody knows how to freaking spell anymore(North Americans with English as their first language)

Like "rediculous" it's RIDICULOUS how nobody knows how to spell that anymore. Or "tomarrow" it's TOMORROW you #$@%$$#@%#$%! One of my favourites is seeing people spell tongue as "tounge" like.....just..... [rofl]

I don't really get angry

I'm just a grammar Nazi with OCD. That and cell phone typing when you have a full 100+ key keyboard with all letters easily available to you. You have no excuse to type like you are forced to use a number pad. "How r u 2day?" [no]

With how things are today, the English language seems doomed to die off, or at least mutate into some kind of lazy short-form infested ******* child.
