Thus rendering a generation that is incapable of writing anything

My daughter did a short stint teaching first year college (USA) students
English. It was terrifying. She let us read some of the papers people
presented in a *writing* class. The inability to spell aside (I can't to
save my life) the horrible composition process and use of "Internet
abbreviations" was truly *pathetic*.
To think that a college student would turn-in a paper that uses
abbreviations instead of full words such as "ur" in place of "you are"
is mind-boggling.
My sincere apologies to everyone here for participating of the hijacking
of this thread.
