Default RE: Maybe I'm getting too old...

Misspelled words are one thing. I can handle that because it's pretty easy to know what they're saying. What I can't handle is total disregard of all rules of grammar, no paragraph breaks, no punctuation, random capitalization, if any...

I figure if it's important enough to write, then it's important enough to make it readable, at the very least. If it's not readable, then it obviously wasn't worth writing. So it's certainly not worth wasting my time trying to decypher the gibberish.

When I come to one of those posts, I simply ignore it and go on.

It does give me reason to pause and consider the current efficacy of our public education system though. [:-]

Oddly enough, "jabberwocky" by ee cummings is one of my favorite poems.
