It is at my immediate attention that "some" people have a hard time understanding what is written in the state of a business/formal letter... in one precise case, a college acceptance letter. Now, don't get me wrong, these things are sometimes "tricky" to read, so forgive me for being so critical. But has society really softened it's grasp on the English language to forego the understanding of words such as "vanity, communion and morale". These meager examples are just a few words I was fortunate enough to "Yolk my lamenting acceptance of the rapid downturn in literal understanding". I mean, it's become common place for younger generations to not even understand simpler words or how to pronounce them. It's becoming frightening... let alone, white-knuckling... for someone to have goals, but not know how to articulate them in a communal setting. For those people that don't understand a word or phrase and actually put the effort into finding out what it means, "I'm elated to know you", but the people that struggle to spell dictionary or even know that a dictionary is the source of finding a meaning to a word. "Seriously, get off your ass - fixate an intelligible thought, process it, send those impulses to your senses and find someone to show you what a dictionary is/how to use it (ask for one for your birthday/Christmas/holiday) and manage to look it up!" I tell you that knowledge is a Socialist ideal, everyone has the power and the intellect to know just about as much as everyone else... Including why I'm being such a pragmatist about this. So, as a person who likes to learn, but doesn't want to pay the true, high cost of "Education"... don't rely on other people to tell you what something means, do something for yourself, learn something, praise yourself and quit playing the victim when someone says, "You're not smart"... because you're only hurting yourself.
And, since I'm on a tangent, I have to make a glorified complaint about those people that purposefully comment on ever little update on Facebook. Specifically, one person, but more-so about the people, in general, that do it all the time. Why is it so important to leave your digital stamp on every piece of information that is thrown your way? Not that I have a problem with showing interest in someone else's antics, mistrials, entertainments, interests, or otherwise similar activities... because i don't. But, the perpetual ejection of "blarf, dissipated nonsense or convoluted dreck" is simultaneously causing me to lose whatever control I have on my cantankerous and epigrammatic ideas, but is also starting to procure a "cataclysmic muscle spasm" sending my arm wildly into the faces of "strangers". And, by strangers, I mean... people that can't illustrate a thought that makes sense, therefore causing CMS (the above condition that I described). Henceforth, I propose a mild act of futility... as I have already consulted a victim of said "abuse of commenting"... Get their attention, let them know that "a comment is a comment, but a bunch of comments is a nuisance", or maybe it's just me and I'm the one with the problem. Which most definitely could be the case, but let's get serious, imagine all the time that you could be doing something else besides squandering your time trying to relate to someone on "all" their comments... trust me, the world is a bigger place, moreso than from the face of your computer.
As with all my pithy and corporeal ideas... argue with me, if you have issues.
