Just finished up big debate on correcting grammar and spelling in regards to social media, and the results were quite divided. Many of the younger generation are of the belief that spelling, grammar, and structure mistakes should not be called out publicly as long as everyone can still understand what is being said.Thoughts?

8:02 am

godthaab

Down the slippery slope to national idiocy. There is a reason spelling is consistent.

8:02 am

hokie carla

grammar is going to pot and if that's how they want it, that's what they're going to get

8:03 am

hokie carla

it started years ago with the acceptance of woah instead of whoa.

8:03 am

hokie carla

on social media

8:03 am

godthaab

It also shows a certain level of intelligence.

8:03 am

hokie carla

agreed

8:04 am

crosshair

It hurt my brain to see some of the spelling that was deemed acceptable.

8:05 am

hokie carla

yeah, it's terrible out there

8:05 am

hokie carla

reading comments on random FB posts makes me cry

8:05 am

hokie carla

new acronym - COL - crying out loud

8:06 am

godthaab

If you can't spell, you obviously can't think. Spelling requires a cognitive discipline. Putting down what you think is grammatically suspect script makes you suspect as well.

8:06 am

hokie carla

I know some smart people struggle with spelling, but what bothers me is that no one cares to even try

8:07 am

ScoobyDoo

I completly agree

8:08 am

crosshair

I am a writer, and I wrestle with the language all the time. :)

8:09 am

hokie carla

I have to look up more words than I used to, but I do at least look them up before sending it.

8:10 am

hokie carla

found my first 8!

8:11 am

crosshair

Those three A.M writing sessions where it is just you, a bottle of whiskey, and you realize that you have been staring at the same oaragraph for the last hour dredging your mind for the oerfect word.

I hate being a writer with the ads for publishing my story with AI

8:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

crass

8:12 am

crosshair

Note to self: do not write the next great novel on a tablet. :)

8:13 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought you were calling that crass, kap. but now I think you typed a word in the wrong box. :D

8:14 am

hokie carla

well the K was easy today

8:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, but I thought I'd let it slide because the word applies to the conversation. But you caught me

8:18 am

hokie carla

hehe

8:28 am

crosshair

Or maybe it is just language evolving, and I should just go take my meds like the kids said to me. :)

8:29 am

hokie carla

don't let those little assholes get you down!

8:29 am

hokie carla

just found my 2nd 8!

what a time to enter the chat to see hookie go off on swearing

8:31 am

hokie carla

I need to make coffee. mr. homie drank everything he made this morning.

8:32 am

crosshair

She does get feisty--especially sans coffee. :)

8:34 am

hokie carla

I used to go by grammar girl at my other internet hangout

8:34 am

crosshair

:)

8:34 am

hokie carla

so it does make me angry

8:35 am

crosshair

Some F.B posts make me cringe because of spelling.

8:36 am

crosshair

Now, I am not perfect, but one should at least try. Some of the stuff online my kid cannot even translate.

8:37 am

hokie carla

ooh, I have 3 8's now. still no 9's.

8:39 am

Christa

Good Morning . Along with spelling kids today lack critical thinking skills .

8:39 am

hokie carla

8:39 am

crosshair

I am not going to even attempt to finish this big grid today. My Elegant is unwell today and needs extra care. Just came to chit-chat more than anything else.

8:41 am

crosshair

Christa, when I was a volunteer T.A, I had to teach them how to tell time using the wall clocks in the school. This is a group of eighteen year-olds.

8:41 am

rururocks

kids today do not know how to write cursive and sign their names

8:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

When I was little we had a digital clock in the kitchen so I didn't know how to tell time on a clock till 3rd grade. I was the only one.

8:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

I like big grids because you can fool with them all day

8:45 am

hokie carla

in NC I believe they started teaching cursive again. my kids were in the time period where they didn't.

8:46 am

crosshair

I had one student who was picking up one extra credit for graduation. She was to do a book report and the story chosen was Of Mice and Men. It was a struggle but she got a passing grade. She came to thank me afterwards, then said "That was the first book that I have ever read in my life." I did not know how to respond to that, but wished her well going forward.

8:46 am

hokie carla

found another 8. now just need two i's to gray a row!

8:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

I saw cursive was always something to individualize, which was not the point. How about the palmer Method?

8:46 am

hokie carla

that's crazy, crossy

8:47 am

hokie carla

not familiar with that, kap

8:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

Came before standard cursive I think. I just remember seeing pictures of kids drawing loops on the blackboard. I'll look it up later

8:52 am

crosshair

I was never great at handwriting as my hands have always been prone to cramps when using a pen for more that a paragraph or two. In the 70's and early 80's much of my homeworks was done at the kitchen table using a Brother Selectric typewriter.

8:53 am

it's the D that has to change, peri

1:54 pm

hurshy

becoming non-normal in the process

1:55 pm

periwinkle

to what

1:55 pm

hurshy

so take the base word and just change the D

1:55 pm

hurshy

and when something works, add the endings to it

1:56 pm

BzznBea

derm is skin, right?

2:02 pm

hurshy

2:03 pm

BzznBea

I'm missing a9

2:03 pm

hurshy

2:03 pm

BzznBea

not A( but a 9

2:03 pm

periwinkle

there is an se8/9 that I do not have

2:04 pm

2:14 pm

moolingwa

2:14 pm

hurshy

2:14 pm

moolingwa

2:14 pm

hurshy

2:14 pm

moolingwa

2:14 pm

hurshy

2:15 pm

hurshy

idk what you mean

2:15 pm

moolingwa

hmm

2:15 pm

hurshy

not the name of a type of land that is dry

2:15 pm

hurshy

an adjective for it

2:15 pm

moolingwa

ohhh

2:15 pm

hokie carla

2:15 pm

hurshy

i figured out what you meant

2:15 pm

hurshy

2:16 pm

moolingwa

2:16 pm

hokie carla

but I guessed the right one

2:16 pm

hokie carla

got as7 adn 8

2:16 pm

moolingwa

that's the top A greyed

2:16 pm

hurshy

if i can get these 3 lower A i will have Vanquished the Vowels altogether

2:16 pm

hokie carla

2:17 pm

moolingwa

have 2 A's on that...and they're my last vowels

2:17 pm

hokie carla

I'm very confused now on what I need on the upper A. I think an AS9, but maybe 2?

2:17 pm

hurshy

so this worm combo is as7, 9, 8

2:18 pm

moolingwa

there's one related to the 7/8

2:18 pm

hurshy

if you haven't got as9 then you need that

2:18 pm

hokie carla

and the 9 is in the middle of the pair, but related?

2:18 pm

hurshy

yes, different plural ending

2:18 pm

hokie carla

got it

2:19 pm

hokie carla

kept trying another 8 with that vowel on the end

2:19 pm

hurshy

yeah

2:19 pm

hokie carla

so now need 1 A on top and 3 lower to finish my vowels

2:19 pm

hurshy

well mool you must have ONE A that i haven't got

2:19 pm

hurshy

hokie did you get the person who does as6?

2:20 pm

hokie carla

nope, thanks

2:20 pm

hurshy

hokie carla

I still have 3 so probably can't help

4:35 pm

hokie carla

do you know what you need?

4:35 pm

hurshy

dr8 was not called, it's like a plural of an adjective so it's a little weird, but the adj itself is normal

4:36 pm

hurshy

the adj singular is not in the grid tho, cause it ends in y

4:36 pm

hokie carla

it's a plural of a window treatment or there are 2?

4:36 pm

hurshy

that's the 9 hokie

4:36 pm

hokie carla

oh

4:37 pm

hokie carla
