Perhaps this is why blogs have essentially gone by the wayside. People no longer want to invest the time to write anything that will be worth reading in a month’s time, so it’s much easier to simply hammer out a few dozen “words” on one of the many micro-blogging platforms.

Oh well. It’s no great loss. Like you said, we have too much information to process, and there’s no time for non-value content.

The English seems to be able to take a lot of abuse and still be somewhat comprehensible. I wonder if other languages are as malleable.

The behaviors you note seem to reflect the attention deficits that afflict so many people today. I mean how many people even write anything of any length that they review and revise several times like you have probably done on your mini essays. Their writings are purely brain dumps of whatever is on their mind at the moment. Then there is the impediment of the thumbpads that encourage shortcuts to bad spelling and shorthand substitutions.

The quality of content is in direct proportion to the quality of spelling and grammar. Which is to say, garbage in, garbage out. NULL content (well actually not an unknown value, in this case just the absence of value).

Frankly with the amount of information we have to process nowadays, there simply is no time to waste on crap content.
