Is This Offensive 2 U?

Twitter, e mail, and thumbtyping wreak havoc with grammar and spelling.  Sometimes it really bothers me.

The way people write and they talk

Screeches like blackboard and chalk.

If they’re understood

Does that mean it’s good,

Despite the aural assault?

Yet, I am happy it’s a living language, and sometimes it’s POW.

English has long been in ferment

As writers bend rules and invent

It’s colorful making

It’s grammar rule breaking

And Shakespeare was preeminent.
