What Has Happened to People?

[Sam.]

Have we all lost your common sense? What are these kids being taught?



All around the internet I keep seeing people typing, for example, $25 as 25$. I see it in advertising for web hosts (severely unprofessional), when people want to buy and sell things and also in just general conversations. This is just the tip of iceberg - it seems like people's English skills (when it is their native language) on the internet and in real life are being forgotten.



Can anybody enlighten me? Do you agree or disagree?

I've never seen this Sam but it bothers me just to look at it.

Meh, 25$ is how you pronounce it, so I can live with that error. It really worries me though that a lot of people really do not know the difference between 'their', 'there', and 'they're'.

or 'here', 'hair' and 'hare'.

I hate when people mess up there grammar.

The $ sign after the amount may be used as a marketing technique, but I do understand what you're saying. Either way, it's an understandable error.

 

[Temerit]

I bet 25$ that it doesn't bother me

Meh, as long as it doesn't turn to full 1337 you won't hear me complaining.

I hate when people mess up there grammar.

Look who's talking

The other thing that makes me mad is when people 'loose' their cell phone or something.

Look who's talking

I did it on purpose.

Yeah plus I've noticed people on YouTube nitpicking a lot of games for no reason. For example I one saw a guy that said he was disappointed with that new Ratchet & Clank game just because the moon in Insomniac's logo was white.
