I've noticed that the readability of postings on this wonderful site seems to have trended downward lately... and I wonder if any other members feel the same way.

I don't want to come across as elitist, but there's a certain threshold of spelling, grammar and vocabulary errors that, when exceeded, simply make me want to stop reading an article. That threshold seems to be crossed a lot more than it used to on The Code Project. Some of it may be due to an increase in the number of members for whom English is a second or third language; I also suspect that the language skills of native English speakers have declined considerably, at least as far as reading and writing good prose is concerned. Kids growing up in a environment of constant cell-phone prattle and television babble probably see little rewards in mastering the written word.

I don't have any pat solutions for this. Obviously people that write badly can still have good ideas and information to share, and we would all suffer if that sharing was to stop. And I don't mean to sound condescending to non-native English speakers; very much the contrary, in fact. I have great admiration for those who speak more than one language. I, like too many Americans, am mono-lingual, and I'm not proud of it.

So again, I have no easy fixes... I doubt if the people who sacrifice their time keeping The Code Project running can afford the resources to re-write, edit, or even proofread submissions. I'm just wondering if anyone else is bothered by this trend.



Regards,

John Bendiksen
