What is the world coming to these days?

For goodness sake, I have no idea what the world is coming to nowadays. Have you seen the standard of English used by most bloggers or fanfiction writers? Even better, sometimes, it isn't even ENGLISH. It's words from another language randomly inserted in the middle of a sentence or two of English words.

Firstly, the people who do this really need to figure out that the internet is a community of people from all over the world. Not everyone knows, for example, how to read Chinese or French, and seeing words of two different languages in one sentence is frustrating, especially when you can't understand one of them.

Secondly, there is no rule that the same word may not be used twice on the same blog. The way some people use the thesaurus is atrocious. (Forgive me for using this word. It is used for lack of a better word to express my disgust)

There is no need to use the thesaurus to look up difficult, complicated words to show off your "vocabulary", and there is also no need to use said words in every single sentence. The main point of writing is to get the point across clearly and NOT so you can, for example of the sort words people like this would use, "flaunt" your "mediocre" vocabulary, and also NOT for you to attempt to marvel over the "intiguing and perplexing" things in the world (especially if you do this with terribly and irritatingly complicated words)


While reading such blog entries or fanfiction, I usually end up grabbing the nearest dictionary and searching frantically for meanings. Without the help of the dictionary, I probably would not understand half of what was being written.

And as a conclusion, I would just like to leave a little sample here, for those of you who write such things or for those of you who haven't seen anything like what I'm talking about.

The sample begins here: Although I have no place to "castigate" the people who write fanfiction or their own blogs in this manner, I feel that they should realise that their behaviour is "despicable", "reprehensible" and utterly "reproachable" and they should reflect upon their own actions and change their ways. And the sample ends here.

For those people who write like this: A taste of your own medicine. How is it?

For those people who haven't seen anything like this: Shock and horror? Same here.

For the people who've seen more than enough of this type of writing: Sorry for making your life more miserable. Go find some good writing or some humour to negate the effect.
