I'll bet I've been using IRC a lot longer than you have, and many IM
apps over the years, and I don't do that. Neither does anyone I know.

Why would you *WANT* to appear to be sloppy/lazy/illiterate? Sorry, but
I don't understand that kind of behavior. Is it really that much harder

It is a younger generation thing, the generation that grew up with text
messaging, etc. Those of us who had texting introduced later probably still
try to be grammatically correct.

Also, I am pretty certain they've quit stressing grammar as much in schools.

Yes, I'm sure you're absolutely right. This generation will have lots
of neck/spine problems, and carpal tunnel in the hands, when they get
old; due to walking around while constantly staring down at their phone
and running into things.

Agreed. Along with a LOT of other important stuff. Have to make room
in the curriculum for all the new "woke" agenda stuff, ya know. :-(

What do they do when they get to college? College's no longer check grammer on
students papers? Or did they do away with writing papers too?

when a teacher lowered a grade and said they should correct grammer and he would score it again, they called him racist and went to the news and got him canceled.

I am not certain but, outside of English majors, they may not check grammer
any more.

I was in AP English a long time ago, and had a conflict with the
3rd year AP English teacher. He sent me down to the regular English
class, and I realized I could write literal nonsense, but as long as it
was correctly grammatically correct, capitalized and punctuated I'd get
an A.

I hadn't thought about that guy in a long time. I should have dedicated
my novel to him. :)

When a College gets an avalanche of ignorant morons instead of the students
they are expecting, they are forced to lower their standards.

If the Engineering College starts getting students who left High School
ignoring what the Moment of Inertia of a body is, they will have to adapt theirplans. They won't be able to assume students know it and will have to teach it
themselves.

This is the reason why you have 2nd year College students who are still
learning the basics.

I wrote it during NANOWRIMO in 2017, added some text to get it to around
50K words, then took some out. It's still rough around the edges, but
I'm going to get around to putting it up as a kindle book some day.
