idea of the day 2008.08.14

i have read opinions that state computers and mobile devices are reducing the quality of expression in written text as punctuation is gets dropped in favor of reducing key strokes or because the punctuation keys can’t be found easily.

in similar fashion, i don’t waste the extra ‘shift’ keystroke necessary to type capital letters and am routinely criticized (ok, mostly by my father) that my writing is incomprehensible without capitalization.

reading through some of my recent email i see that i’ve devolved even further by eliminating segues. a blank line is all i provide to move from commenting on language to

guess the chinese took lip sync lessons from milli vanilli.
