But why is this such a huge problem?

After all, if you can understand what I just said, then what's the real problem.

Our young ones have a great way of communicating, according to them and they use only enough effort as required.

After all, prior to writting and spelling, which are simply forms of communication, people used to communicate with grunts, growns or clicking sounds.

Remember, the future leaders will come from GenY and younger, so, if they can communicate this way, who are we to say they are wrong.

Wrong in our eyes yes, but does that mean we are right?

Perhaps it's time to move on again and allow a new language to be formed hey!

I can see what you are getting at, but the problem is if we let standards fall too far will we always be understood. Miscommunication and misunderstandings may lead to disastrous consequences when giving misspelt or unclear instructions.

What if I wrote to a man at work: "you are really impotent" when I meant 'important'. I guess if also misspelt 'really' as 'rarely' he may take it as a compliment.

Also if you are going to write something or do something there are good reasons as to why we should aim to do it well.

Probably doesn't make much difference to a great many.

I would suggest that you greatly desire your *doctor* to know the difference between ontogeny, ontology and oncology.

Fundamentalist preachers need not know at all.

It matters yes I know how bad I sometimes am, but it matters.

Spelling is far more important than most people realise. Concise words can not be mistaken. I compare spelling to dialect of a proper language. Some can understand but many don't. Rehctub's spelling was no problem to understand but as a non-native-english speaking person you'd find it rather difficult. Language & writing are the crux of communication & the clearer it is the less confusion you have.
