The Dgradation of Moi Grmr

The degradation of my grammatical skills(???If I had any) has been primarily due to the SMS culture we are in.I don't the remember the time since I wrote a grammatically correct sentence with all the punctuations,exclamations and pauses which merit for a good sentence.(Hopefully this sentence qualifies to be one).Why are we like this??Why did our so called English reduce to that of a language of smileys.Even as I write this post,Iam filled with doubts about the grammatical accuracy of the sentence which I wrote last.Did i miss a comma,did I screw up the preposition or did I simply miss it totally??Its not that Iam obsessed with grammar or anything but I have a feeling that the language is being degraded due to the laziness of our generation.

Another totally conflicting view point is that language is a tool of communication which deserves only the amount of respect we decide to give it.Language is not something which is decided by the intellectuals who speak them but the common people or the majority of us who speak it.If majority of the people,throughout the course of history have screwed up a word or used a wrong grammatical expression,then we must be allowed to use it by all means..
eg-
Moi-Knock! Knock!
Shakespeare- Who is it?
Moi-It is Me!!
Shakespeare-Dude..The sentence is grammatically wrong..It should be "It is I" and not "It is me"
Moi-Screw u ...I make my own rules...

If you could understand what I meant,does the rule really matter??




Just a random thought...

OH well ...What the hell

After weeks of contemplating/toying with the idea of a "blog",I have finally decided to take the plunge.I have found myself lacking in words when it comes to penning down my thoughts.It is rather strange considering the fact that Iam quite fluent in English.Anyways..Today I have decided to start loading the Google servers with my load of random nonsense :)..Lets see how things pan out from here onwards.
