Worsening standards of English

[mr bagcroft]

I read a moderate amount of print, perhaps an hour a day during my commute on the bus. I read a lot more on the internet - Bigfooty, ABC News, Reddit, etc. I find that the more I've read in the previous month or so, the better my writing is. I call it osmosis - one's mind gets immersed in the pool of good writing.

Your getting "good" writing from Bigfooty and REDDIT ?

I get it from the books.

Just sent something with you're instead of your. Feel like an absolute idiot. Made me think of this thread straight away. Gosh darn it...

Grammar. The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
