Hello everyone! I bet you're wondering if this blog itself is even necessary. Well folks, for the generation of 2000-2013 it is! Apparently, no child from the ages 13 and below know what 'grammar' is. Shocking, I know! There are even people that are 14+ that don't even know/remember what 'grammar' is. To be honest, it's sad. Yeah, sometimes people slip and have typos, but full-out grammatical errors are seen everywhere! They're seen a lot in games but mostly, from what I can see, in Minecraft.
I know that Minecraft is for any and all ages, but sometimes I think children need to get off and head back to school. C'mon you know you all have thought it one time or another!
"Hai can i hve sum dimonz?"
or
"i need 2 go mining 4 iron and stuf"
We've seen countless of times horrible misspellings, using numbers for words, and worst of all things such as:
"yolo!"
I'll have you know 'yolo' is not an actual word. I mean, even when you type it on here it gets that red squiggly line underneath it!
Grammar was taught to us from way back in Kindergarten or 1st grade all the way up to college! You learn grammar most of your life and it's there for a reason! I can imagine it now, the kids of this generation trying to fill out an application to a job later on in life.
'What experience do you have in (insert job description)?'
"o i hav lotz ov expuhreence in this job. i used 2 work at ur compani tahts down teh street frum here"
I'm just saying now, if I were your potential employer I would not hire you!
Here's one last example I know of. A girl posted something on her Facebook once:
'I'd rather be pissed off then pissed on'
See the problem with that sentence? It may be a small mess up, but c'mon that really changes the sentence doesn't it? It's just like 'Your' and 'You're'. It makes a total difference!
So moral of the story... Go get an education.

Update:
Guys I understand what you're saying when you comment 'Oh, you're stereotyping younger children derp.' Well, as I mentioned up above, it's not just them and I understand that. Though, you see it more in the ones that are 13 and younger. It's not very common to see a 20 year old type as if they are a 2nd grader. Also as someone has mentioned. 'They are children. I don't expect them to use grammar'. Well, we are taught grammar from the time we enter school 'till time we leave it. Even in 1st grade you learn grammar. They teach you how to capitalize your sentences and use punctuation. I can understand more complex grammatical errors with 8 and younger, but when you take it to where it's not even legible it's simply ridiculous. I am not stereotyping anyone, I'm just having an opinion as everyone is entitled to one. I do know 'YOLO' is an acronym, but as someone mentioned, it's only correct when capitalized. (Still, it's a really idiotic acronym.) I will not answer or even bother reading any comments that say the same things I corrected in this update. Thank you for your opinions and support. G'day.
