I've always gone taken the extra time to write a correct English sentence when typing anything. I know I'm not perfect, but I knew if I ever started typing like that, then I would never be able to revert back to proper English.

To get back to the thread topic, I'll agree, I hate people that don't use commas and expect someone to decipher the proper time to pause when reading.

The thing is when people use clear, proper English, everything is so much easier to understand. I've gotten texts before I couldn't make head nor tails out of. A lot of them are ran together into a kind of mucked up decimation of English that makes me wonder if they're even teaching the same things in school that I learned 30 years ago.

Nope, I can guarantee they're not. The school system has probably adapted the curriculum to best suit the needs or learning styles of the students. Everything is more technical and digital than it even used to be when I was in high school.

I'm very curious to see a persons resume that always types in the context that we've been discussing.

I hate seeing people wearing their pajamas bottoms while they are out shopping. It looks nasty and screams just how lazy people can get.
