The addition of the words “Twerk” and “Selfie” to the
Oxford dictionary might just be proof of the complete decline of
civilization. The words bantered
between most Americans is a pathetic bastardization of the English
language. I shudder at each incorrectly
conjugated verb and garbled sentence fragment.
The deplorable state, of the spoke, word appears refined in comparison
to the tragically incoherent ramblings, scattered across social media sites.
I certainly understand that not everyone was afforded the same
education I received; however, the opportunity to better one’s grammar is
readily available. One only needs to
embrace the Internet, for something other than silly memes and videos. Not sure whether to use “their” or “there”,
in a sentence? You only need to type
“there vs their” into Google and you’ll get a very clear and concise
answer. I’d also like to recommend
another site for your grammar conundrums.

This is not a paid advertisement. I am only offering this tip in a selfish
attempt to ease my own suffering.
Please, share this with your friends, relatives, and anyone who
desperately needs some assistance! It
is our own apathy that allows this nonsense to continue. I, for one, do not want to entrust our
country to a nation of illiterates when I’m old. It almost makes me wish the zombie apocalypse would begin so that
I can bash some skulls of the twerking, selfie-taking fools that have sullied
our language. I suspect that zombies
will have a broader vocabulary, anyway.
Sleep well.
