The New Literacy

After a decade of using the Internet (and over a decade-and-a-half of networking), I'm still amazed by people who somehow manage to write things without demonstrating the ability to read things.

Maybe we're looking at a new sub-dialect, a sort of Internet-Pidgin. I dub it Flamish.

Flamish.

Not to be confused with Flemish.

Sounds like Phlegm-ish.

Yep, there's a connection. No offense to any Belgians, mind you. Lovely country.
