What compels me

On a regular basis, I look upon the internet as a way to further develop solutions to everyday problems. But as each day passes I cringe at the use of the English language. I am not a literary guru to say the least, but just wish more people would follow the correct structure of the language.
Forums, I feel are the best example of how badly our discipline to the language has become. I get the impression that young children are writing these forums — Children who have become attached to their mobile devices and all of it’s abbreviated words and phrases.
I believe those of us who care for our language should take a stand and help guide our youth back towards a language that isn’t abbreviated and filled with ‘lol’s. If steps aren’t taken then I feel that our future maybe come what Orwell wrote about in his novel, 1984.
