Unfortunately, I am guilty of several of these examples...why?? because I am getting LAZY - don't you think that we in general are losing our abilty to speak correct English. We are also forgetting manners - is that a thing of the past> We hear bad grammar so much that we slide into that mode. Do you think that all of the "texting shorthand" is a contributing cause?? Do they not teach proper English anymore in schools?

One of my sons'middle school teachers sent home a note that started "I be needing to speak to you..." I spoke to the principal about a new teacher for my son. Some people don't realize how uneducated they write and sound, even after getting a college degree.

Not thrilled with Like or You Know, either. Whatever....just shows they don't really know "whatever" in my never humble opinion.
