Actually I think the writings here are far better than what I've seen on other sites, especially Facebook, as mentioned. My main gripe is when so-called professional broadcasters and writers butcher the language. Taken from another post: "As for what we hear on TV, especially during sports broadcasts, I am often amazed at the fact that the announcers, analysts, etc. are all graduates of prestigious universities - allegedly. And unfortunately, it is not limited to TV or radio. Every day I find typos, poor grammar, misspellings, etc. in our one and only statewide newspaper. In fact, today in a sports article it said "... showing how venerable a team can be", when the writer meant to say "... how vulnerable a team could be".
The shame is, it is only going to get worse, as the younger generations use more and more abbreviations in their texting. And the fact that many (most?) schools are no longer teaching script opens up a whole new conversation."
