but on the flipside of that, one could argue that apps like MS Word/Outlook's "auto-correct" features are in fact dumming (take that, spelling-nannies!) us down... especially b/c sometimes it fixes it so fast you have no idea you typed incorrectly!

one could link the fall of humanity with the fall of language (and the upsurge of TV, computers), but i ain't buyin' that one. we're doomed either way, with or without machines!

here's one for you all: is it spelled "ya'll" or "y'all"?

only one of them is correct, even though the other is used waay more often. (i used to live in bama so i know)
