Blogging Prompt 9/8

I believe being literate in the 21st century means that you are able to analyze and critically judge what you are reading. One needs such skills when an abundance of false and far fetched information is on TV, the internet, and some written articles and books. This been a topic of concern in some of my other classes.

I do believe that grammar and spelling are essential when creating material for the internet if one wishes to entice readers to view their work. My main concern about the use of language on the internet is the immature comments some readers put in comments that they may regret later. It is quite easy to swear and insult on the web rather than face to face. However, I am not sure if texting things like "LOL", "OMG", and "IDK"will harm grammar structure in the classroom.



I may not agree with all these opinions about literacy, but I do agree with some of them and the quotes about books.
