The grammar, punctuation, syntax, and spelling in our
country are nothing less than dreadful. And our youth
don't have a monopoly on this. It includes major media
figures, political leaders, public spokespersons of major
corporations, organizations, and the clergy. Examples:

ha ha ha... English is just a tool, and users can abuse it to make it
look like deteriorating. Who're the judges and users? Their intention
also make a lot of differences. :)

Dr. Jai Maharaj spammed about an article titled:

Is English Deteriorating?

Yes, I think it is deteriorating. For example, I
have just received the following unsolicited e-mail:

New SoundCloud Premier marketing and promotional
opportunities help you reach even more fans

It makes two errors: one blatant and one flagrant.
The first error is the notion of reaching fans, as
if my fans existed in a latent form, unaware of me
and unsuspecting they were my fans. The second er-
ror is the impudent assumption, in the use of "even
more", that the person addressed has already reached
many fans. Sloppy thinking and sloppy writing.
