Agree. Correct grammar is struggling these days, but a lot don't realize (or haven't be taught) the importance of how it conveys what they are trying to communicate. Take for example someone writing "Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less if were heading to Deathcon won" and being taken seriously. I hear someone say 'irregardless' at least once a day in my place of employment and I work alongside aeronautical engineers. I also think texting and spellchecker has made most lazy or blasé about the quality of their messaging - even in so-called professional publications. Our local paper here is festooned in the most basic errors and it is really disappointing.
