Not all blogs are created equal

I thought it would be an interesting experement to click through to the next five "random blogs" and see I turn up with.

The Princess - Too ... many... ellipses. It's excessive.

The Stinch of Life - I'm not kidding, that's her title! Some teeny bopper song played when I hit the page and made me feel old as dirt, even though I'm not.

The Bush Hater - I strongly disagree with his politics, but this guy can write in complete sentences and I'm impressed.

The Foreign Blog - Is that Portuguese?

The Grammar Nightmare - wHAt iS it ABouT pEOplE WhO wRiTE lIKe thIs? I blame it on bad schools in Singapore.

I seem to get discouraged every time I see who my blogging peers are. The people I know who have blogs don't write poorly at all. Perhaps it's because when we were growing up (seriously) the main form of communication wasn't the dumbed-down cyberEnglish chatter that we see from these kids today. It must be such a challenge to be a teacher having to explain why LOL is not a word they should use in a term paper. I shudder to think of how business communication will look in ten years.
