i know ive bitched about digg for a while, but im just continually in shock at how much worse the website gets everyday.

when there are more stories with titles and descriptions that contain horrendous misspellings of very basic words than there are stories with correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar, i am not only dumbfounded, but upset.

we are very lucky to have such a well-documented language as our own. knowing spellings and specific definitions for a word helps people more thoroughly understand each other and what intent they have with their words.

slang, while very useful and an obvious evolution of language, often leads to dumbing-down as people will overuse some words, while not attempting to learn new words that more accurately describe what they are trying to say.

i dont know where im going with this except that to say digg users have horrid vocabularies and cannot spell worth a damn.

i would read metafilter a lot more, but it doesnt update as often.
