Am I just a cranky old fart or is it the up and coming generations are just getting lazy?

Does anyone besides us old coots know how to use ’spell-check’?

spell check you have a point, but it is the natural evolution of a language to be made simpiler to understand. and i am one of those up and coming! if you are talking age and not my finacial status that is

I’m 21 years old and I can’t stand it when people can’t spell properly or use correct grammar. My dad’s an English teacher though…

Yes, they are extremely lazy, not to mention irresponsable, and just flat out stupid.

It’s beyond me how anyone can get through school and not be able to spell. Relying on spell-check could be considered lazy….it doesn’t catch everything. Doesn’t anyone just proof-read anymore? I have a kid who is perfectly capable of spelling correctly, but just doesn’t seem to care, and will mispell the same word several different ways in the same piece of writing. It makes me crazy.
