The English Language

article image placeholderUploaded by @JesseHorne
I mean, my entire career is in communications and I feel that even with a shorthand mentality and a shorthand treatment now in the way we talk, there needs to be a continuation and proper use of English language. Just because we can do it faster does not mean we can get away with doing it shorter. And to me, I think that it does speak to a little bit of laziness. And I'm one that will appreciate going through using a proper sentence

A recent intended insult speaks to a greater problem. #Communication

But I think we have to get really playful and creative around spelling and grammar with kids because they're not going to learn it in the traditional ways anymore. I'm sure there's tons of games out there that reward people for different choices they make and we can have one of those for spelling and for I'm sure there's a million spelling apps, but you have to gamify this stuff or else it goes without saying that they're not going to pick up great spelling

Hey, Deborah, thanks for the reply there. You know, when I was growing up, being a child of the 80s, we did have those games. You had those seeking spell or seeking whatever. You had those spelling apparatuses, and we did have that being a very important part of our education. You know, it does it does pain me, especially in my line of work

@JesseHorne #SwellSunday The Decline of the Sign

And I'm not sure if you were watching this live, but it was really ironic because when they went to the broadcasters, robbie Hummel and then I can't remember who the other guy was, the person with this sign positioned himself to where the sign was right in the middle of him so you couldn't miss it. So he went to extraordinary efforts to make sure that his sign got seen during the game and really kind of highlighted the fact that he was not very good at spelling
