| Jun 6, 2011 at 15:58 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | It seems likely to me that (as The Raven may be implying) there's more actual writing being done by people with less-than-perfect knowledge of the 'correct' forms. And people in a hurry, or just not that dextrous at typing. And non-native speakers. Which prolly leads to more general 'sloppiness', as exemplified by this sentence itself. | |
