Is this a pointless concept, as more and more internet babblers create their own grammatical, syntactical, and other "rules of English" universes? Is it a conscious writing style, to accentuate issues the [author] wants to emphasize, or just laziness, to avoid editing and rewriting, which takes away time that could be used to expel every thought, because every possible thought must be provided to every reader? Two concepts seem to be missing from this discussion: 1] reflection, which [used to] mean taking real time to simply sit and think, and 2] the value of face-to-face interaction, where more than the printed word is used to comprehend our fellow human beings. Hey, thanks for the chance to babble!
