Or else, I'll never be able to read information on the internet again.

So, I was having lunch and reading the recent stories on sciam.com, as I usually do. There was an interesting story on Media Bias and I quite enjoyed it.

Until I looked at the comments below the story.

Good GOD! Okay, so, I get it, one of the commenters is not a native English speaker. His post was extremely hard to read, but he clearly doesn't live in the US, so, you know, whatever. He managed to sort of make his point.

What bugged me was the fact that some of the other commenters, who were clearly Americans (or at least lived in America) were equally as illiterate in the English language.

God in HEAVEN! I just... I wouldn't try to comment on an article I read in a French magazine. I don't speak French nearly well enough to make myself understood. Why, why, why Are we raising at least a couple of generations who see no need to learn to write their own language!? WHY!?

I fear for the future. Seriously. Fear a lot.
