AfricanApple: Wonder, but he's right. Written and spoken english has gone to the dogs. Excuses aplenty. 'Its not our mother tongue'. But it is definitely a product of laziness and the dying book culture. I grew up with books and my dad had several magazine subscriptions of which 'Reader's Digest' was one of my favourites. English came naturally to me. I think if we spend more on paper than megabytes we may begin to lower that 90 percentile. 3 Likes |
