The last decade? ,_, I don't think the world's vocabulary has changed at all in the last ten years. People were just as stupid in 1999 as people are now.

Well we aren't stupid.
We just learned shorter versions of the old words.

I don't think chat terms necessarily means this generation is any smarter or dumber than the ones before it...
...but the fact that people actually use short forms (ie, 2day, u, etc.) in essays means this generation can be pretty stupid sometimes. <_<

I had to grade an essay in my last school year. It went something like this:
"ten won dae, i went 2 da store"
I gave them a D because they had a theme going on according to my teacher...

lol I would fail an essay like that. @_@;; I've only ever peer-marked one essay where someone used those and they claimed they only did because it wasn't their final copy so it was faster to type up that way. I still circled everything. XD;

Lol.
I would have failed them, but they complained to my teacher, so my teacher gave them a D when they explained that they were still talking about the theme.

Language has little if anything to do with global stupidity.

LOL. See that's why I dislike non-logic-based subjects. :| You can BS almost anything and still get the same mark as someone who legitimately tries their best depending on how you say it and what the opinions of your teacher/prof are.

And that is why high school should be better. Especially since I'm in the highest level of English you could take as a ninth grader.

I'm taking AP English in the 11th Grade. I hope it will re instill proper grammar into me. The Internet is bad like that. XP
Depends on the school/teacher, I'd say. :[
