I should point out, LangigeNaxi, that i'm not so much of a pedant that i let things like not capitalising words on the internet be included in my outrage (you ought to have noticed that from the rest of my comment). Language evolves, we all know this; if i were angry about that, i'd boycott the entire internet. Don't tell me you've never written "u" instead of "you" in a post or text message. On the internet, it's about being casual. What gets my goat (or ghoti XD) is that this isn't evolution, just laziness and surrender to the decay of a language. And while you chortlingly point out other people's small mistakes, i have decided that i'd rather a world full of misspellers than a world populated by pedants. OK?

I think this is disgusting. It may sound extreme, but is it not depressing that we now live in a society where if something is problematic or wrong, we just throw up our hands and say "well, i guess we'll just have to pretend that's ok"? It is not ok to allow spelling mistakes as "alternate spellings", in the same way that it would not be ok for a teacher marking an exam to accept the wrong answer to a mathematical problem as an "alternate answer". We need to stop the dumbing down of our culture, and how can we even begin to do that when we give up on educating and helping people and instead just welcome their mistakes as variants on what is correct? What will happen when that kind of attitude spreads to everyone, including NASA technicians, doctors, or military leaders?

It looks like a cross between a long string of cellulite and a tapeworm. That is possibly the most bizarre and revolting sea creature i have ever seen! I can't wait for them to identify it!

Ok, yes, it doesn't bring lasting happiness. What does? Don't say "love", or "family", or "truth"- these are just pseudo-philosophical opinions that are fueled by our disneyesque culture! Technology may not bring "lasting happiness", but it is constantly stiving towards methods of bringing people out of unhappiness, and that in itself could be a good enough reason to stop biting the hand that feeds you.
