Andrew,
While some of us may use imperfect English grammar and make a few careless spelling mistakes, people have been doing that forever, but it is not that which threatens the English language.

The root of the problem is our education systems. I know young people who have been 'educated' at leading private schools and universities yet their spelling is atrocious. This isn't laziness, they just don't know any better. As for grammar, they don't even know what it is.

Unfortunately there are now generations of people like this.

Regards,
Kevin
