Apple Allows Us to Be Uneducated

Could we all just collectively go back to school instead of our jobs? I personally know I need a refresher on some things but what I can't understand is how most of society still exists, works, and functions with such horrible grammar. 

How do you have a job when you don't even know the difference between too and to?! I feel like that is such an easy and basic one, but then WHOA curve ball, there's also two. Game changer! There isn't a whole lot of extra effort one needs to produce to proofread or even give a damn about something you're writing which coneys to the public who you are and what you think and feel. I don't know how much longer I can stand by and watch people "excel" in life or sit next to me in the office when at my core I'm thinking about how much of a complete moron they are. Not nice, I know; but ultimately true. Not to mention there are people making double what I make to edit books, magazines, and newspapers whom fail to write grammatically better than my fifth grader. I don't understand the complete lack of effort to put out something presentable and something that probably pays your bills.

Apple's newest unveil is an iMessage system that highlights key words you have typed that within a tap turns them into pictures i.e. Emoji. There are a couple problems with that. To start, I'm not five and I don't communicate my thoughts via pictures from a 1988 game of Consentration. (Google that one if need be.) If I want to talk to someone you can be damn sure the receiving end won't have to take an additional five minutes to decode my message.

Even more so, how much dumber can we make society and future generations? People already have a horrible grip on grammar and punctuation, hell even when I text my 11 year old daughter "I love you", her response is "ily". I mean what?! Stop it. You're not going to miss a shooting star or rainbow if you type out those few extra letters my darling. I know my daughter loves me but there's an importance to show someone that hey I can take a minute to talk. Which really this conversation can quickly derail into how no one has time to have a phone conversation anymore but that's a whole other topic we can talk about at a later date.

But seriously, why can't we just take the time to not sound or look stupid to each other, to our friends or family, to our employers, or to people we want to date. As a society unfortunately our actions get more and more terribly worse as time goes on, we should at the very least let our minds or at least our efforts to give a damn be our saving grace.
