Since many schools don't want to question grammar and let the text abbreviations and slang terms be used it is going to spread. The proliferation and presence of computers, the internet and smart phones speeds this along, now. and Our language as do others evolves as time passes, whether we like it or not. The regular list of the most abused or misused words is too sort for my taste. One reason that Monica and I stopped teaching was the lack or spelling and grammar discipline in all classes. I remember being expected to correctly spell on each subject's test when I was in school, including college.

Back to abused words and terms, sorry for interrupting this thread.
