Warning: The next generation might just be the biggest pile of idiots in U.S. history

I know this may be off the subject, but I'm scared what our language is going to be in 50 years with text speak ruling the message baords. It's fine to do that on phones, but when someone text speak their post on message boards it's annoying and it gives me a headache. I'm scared that people will start writing text speak language on their papers.

Let's learn proper English, people!

Another thing, in the beginning of the 1980s, we were ranked 3rd in math and sciences (behing China and I believe Japan). Now we are almost out of the top 20 when it comes to that, and Mexico is right behind us. If we don't shape up, then Mexico will pass us.
