Why do so many people here not bother to correct their grammar, spelling and punctuation?

@ozgirl512 Well you are right about language evolving in dynamic ways - but that's not what I'm observing because there is nothing consistent or meaningful in the errors.

@hartfire that was me pulling your leg ;)
But I tend to agree there is a general decline I feel, but it's language in part being changed by the medium to change is used in and also Auto bloody correct!

@ozgirl512 Thanks - it was a therapeutic leg-pull.

So, are you suggesting that mobile phones encourage a telegraphic way of writing, and that because of the scroll function people often can't see their errors?
Do you think some of us might have become too reliant on spell-checkers and Grammarly?

I have heard lecturers at unis berating the standards of English of school levers. Their general view is that the standards of teaching English have been seriously falling for the last 30 years.

@hartfire with the first paragraph, I agree to all....I once watched a doco on how the English language evolved... And how the available medium helped it evolve, for example in around the Roman era, straight lines carved in stone was easier than curves... Apply this to a small keyboard on a phone and it's natural for abbreviations to enter the mainstream more
