Over the last couple of days I have noticed a marked increase in words being spelt phonetically as opposed to how they are actually spelt.
Ignoring the "run it past a spell checker" point is this the level of education that our country is providing that people can only spell "long" words phonetically? And do people feel that it is acceptable to only spell in this manner.
It is easier to understand than some spelling mistakes and certainly better than l33t speak and txt s p k in my opinion.
I appreciate the fact that these people are trying to use words that they may not use everyday, it is something to be commended - just wondering why this is happening and why it seems to have increased.
Or has it always been like that and always with the same volume.
