When Facebook Becomes Blogging

 Hot Take from Middle of the Night:

Grammar and language and spelling are literally what we have in common, and society was much further away from the edge when we were all annoying each other by correcting one another's grammar. Now, we're supposed to believe that language is 'evolvative', that it's ok if people don't aspire to speak properly and with maximum specificity, and that there's no correlation between standards relaxing for how we speak and write with all the intellectual poisons that currently hatch from the mud; but when people no longer have a common language, how can anyone be surprised millions of people find it increasingly hard to comprehend each other's thoughts and beliefs? If you don't see the correlation, well,... I should probably correct your spelling more often here.
