Lost Art

Where did it go? I know I left it around here somewhere!!! Where did my speech for composition class go? Okay, so I didn't actually lose my writing assignment, but I do believe America is losing the ability to fluently speak and have that ability to sound intelligent. For the remainder of this post, I am going to attempt to use improper language. (Which will be quite a challenge!) I will also freeform write and my thoughts may not be cohesive within a paragraph.

Taday in America we gots uh problem with the speach. No one can speek write, and they can't right well either. Whut has happend to us an why did our language gets o sloppy. What whent wrong? Wuz it in the skool system that stewdent faled? I dont think it was our skool system that faled us, I think its jus my generation. Lazeeness has koorupted our society and generation.

Perhaps it began with the use of teknology more n more. Txtng lingo strtd the prblm n then frm thre it escalated dwnwrd. I dunno whut happened but we became lazy, and thats uh fact. Maybe the use of computers didn't help, but we cannot blame it totally on technology. At some point we have to take responsibility for our actions.

I have heard so many people state that they didnt need to kno how to spell write because they have spell check. Let me address the public with this: SPELL CHECK DOESN'T CATCH EVERYTHING! In fact, it doesnt catch a lot of what people believe it should. We stil need to lern to right intellegently and it is importent to lern what is and aint proper grahmer. It drives me nuts wen peple cant or dont spell things write, or put them in a sentence write. Wat even bugs me more than that is wen peple give me there paper to read and then their sentence jus.

Wat also relly cuncrns me is the fact that prety soon our skool sistems are going to stop teaching cursive. Where is our society headed?! It achally makes me sad that im not uh hundred purcent shure on how to form strange cursive leters like "z". im shure its not hard to learn, but if our skools wont even be lerning the students that any more i gess it dont matter.


Writing, reading, and speaking well are now all becoming a lost art. They're all going to be gone soon for Americans. It's not just our school systems messing up, nor our technology use; we must take on some of the responsibility. It is so hard for me to proof read papers that are not well-written. I have tried to proof papers that are written as I wrote above. People don't seem to capitalize, "I," nor use proper punctuation. I have a friend, who is now in college, which cannot spell to save his life. I'm not sure how we are getting away with this in our society. When did we stop caring about speech?

If you do have any thoughts on this, I am all ears to your suggestions on where this art form went.
