There are far too many posts with horrible grammar and spelling. It’s getting ridiculous.
I can’t be alone in noticing this, right?

It’s more than a sign of pride in your education, it’s also a show of respect to your readers. Formal language is used to show respect; slang and obvious errors are not.
Slang is typically created to develop camaraderie and show mutual insight, which is a bit beyond respect
Formal language also indicates dispassionate separation from your topic of conversation and the people you’re communicating with, which can be disrespectful in and of itself in some contexts.
Overly formal language could appear stilted, and I’d be happy with
We can argue style all day, but I’d love a baseline and the organization like the French have for their language. This ‘usage dictates form’ idea, where vapid influencers can dictate the evolution of the language through weaponized followers, is ridiculous.
Me too. There’s a reason we don’t greet strangers in public with informal language… it’s rude. There’s no reason not to start a relationship with someone respectfully.
But then again maybe I shouldn’t dictate how other people behave. If I had my way people would be forbidden from having children and the species would go extinct.
