i R gud wif grammer

What the fuck is wrong with kids these days.

For instance, a typical conversation between me and an ignorant teenager.

Me: Hey, what’s up?

Them: nawt much u?

Me: lrn2English

Them: i use perfect grammer!!!!!

The main argument I have here is that spelling is NOT grammar.

Diction is NOT grammar.

Punctuation is NOT grammar.

I don’t know why kids seem to think that if they make a typo, they can say, “I know proper grammar” and then get away with it. Sure, it’s a typo, that’s fine… but for them to call it grammar?

WHYYYYYYYYY

Why has knowledge of the English language become such a rarity? I mean, I know grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. is used in every other language (well… most) but I’m only talking about English here because I don’t know much about other languages. My advice to anyone using improper grammar, misspelling, lack of punctuation, etc… STOP calling it ALL grammar.
