Decline of Language

[Mechablob]

I remember I used to sort of consider it as a simple change that language may take over the decades. What I mean there is that, well, over decades, colloquialisms change and language in general seems to make changes over centuries (we definitely speak differently to what was recorded in the 1800s). I used to consider this until I actually started taking the A level English language course and I realised people seemed to make these simple spelling and grammatical mistakes a lot in the class, which sort of surprised me that such ignorance in language was not a barrier for people selecting the course to study.

It's a bit peculiar to think that the informalities in language a century or so ago would seem the utmost of formalities nowadays. I can understand if it's a simple spelling mistake every now and again, be it online or on paper - we're all human and we all make mistakes. If the same mistake is continued to be, though, then it's just plain ignorance. I think we may just be living in more ignorant times, but we should not really blame the ignorant for this, but maybe those that have made our lives more convenient and easier to manage - we have become so used to being dependent now.
