Grammar
“I before E, except after C”… unless you’re using T9 or have a spell check tool that is. With technology and the internet, it’s almost impossible to be a poor speller nowadays. If you’re sending a text message, chances are you’ve got the entry mode set to T9, and if you are unsure of a word, it’ll type it for you, or fix it after you’re done typing it. If you’re in a word document, the spell checker is right there for you, and if you’re still unsure, you can always go to www.dictionary.com, and find out not only the spelling, but the meaning, some synonyms, antonyms, and different uses for the word! How has the internet and technology helped you with your spelling and grammar?
