Stories.

I do a lot of story reading, on here and other sites and it seems to me that the spelling and grammar is getting worse.

I wonder if it's because of poor education, or the use ( or mis-use ) of the gadget that translates from the spoken word to the written word.

It is such a shame as it does detract from the storyline, sometimes to the point of deleting the story and searching for another.

Or am I just getting old and totally out of touch !!

I know my efforts are nothing to write home about, (see what I did there) but I do try, some would say "Very trying"

I agree it can sometimes be frustrating if the story is poorly written but let us give an A for effort. For some English may not be their first language.  Enjoy the stories.

james1801 approaching 60? you are still young!    Yes it does detract from some good stories or should we say "posts"

Totally. It frustrates me no end. I can understand a simple mistake with a long and/or complex word, but when writers cannot differentiate between there, their, and they're I have no sympathy. But, I am approaching 60, maybe it's just a sign of the times, and my age. 🤔
