Re:Wow! What a question to ask on Slashdot... (Score 1)

I just agree with you. I understand that not every body has had the same opportunities in education throughout his/her life, but what about people who were your high school classmates? Or, even worse, how about people attending your own university? Of course I will complain if they write/talk to me in a fashionably careless way.

This is an issue I have to deal with every day of my life, and since I always cared about the language mainly because it is the most important tool we have to communicate our thoughts, I get nervous and sometimes I correct them. Not because I think they're stupid, but because they should learn not to repeat the phrase/word in question. Sorry for not posting any examples, my everyday speaking is in Spanish so most of you wouldn't know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, it's cool that someone finally said something about this.
