Written English is dying out. In a few generations, we will all be writing phonetically. Like I rite like i tork n it dunt mattr rite cuz u get me rite?
Unfortunately, I think that laziness/ignorance is being confused with dylexia more and more these days. Dyslexia is a real and difficult problem for some, but increasingly, it is being used as an excuse for the stupid and slack.
