Ain't that the truth. The younger generation these days! They keep $#@&ing up the words. Today you don't need to spell correctly. It seems to me that the more you misspell words and use bad grammar, the "cooler" you become. I blame it on mobile devices and social networks. brb, lol, etc. I find it funny that my 15 year old daughter is constantly trying to correct her friends' grammar when she's chatting and gaming on the Xbox. "Colin, it's not I didn't do nothing. That means you did do something." or, "Colin, seriously? 'Here comes the sheeps'".
