This blog has been crafted to bring awareness to a growing concern –the concern that our English language is being depleted as each generation reaches adolescence. This blog will showcase examples of how poorly the English language is being abused.
I am a graphic design student who has been requested to develop a website that will resolve a global issue at a local level; my issue is literacy. I feel that creating this blog will allow me to gain insight and improve the quality of the final site.
The site, which is in its prototype and development stage, is designed for Ontario high school students who need to fulfill their volunteer hours. Once logged in, users will be tested in the areas of spelling, punctuation and grammar. The goal eventually would be for high schools to regard this site as a legitimate source of volunteer hours thus increasing the amount of exposure their students will have to changing testing materials.
Primarily, the purpose of this blog is an avenue for viewers to input their own pet peeves in regards to the misuse of the language. If there are words that are misused or continually misspelled, or if you simply have a high affinity for grammar and punctuation, then let me know. Help me craft a site that will mold our future generations.
