Great question — and kind of a loaded one, right? It definitely feels like reading and spelling skills have taken a nosedive in recent years. There are a few reasons people often point to:
-
Tech dependence: Autocorrect and predictive text mean we don’t have to think about spelling anymore. Same with grammar checkers. It’s like outsourcing our brains to our devices.
-
Less reading for fun: People, especially younger generations, tend to read less traditional material (like books or long articles) and more short-form content (texts, tweets, memes). That impacts vocabulary and attention to proper language.
-
Educational shifts: Some argue schools have moved away from foundational skills like phonics and spelling drills in favor of broader literacy or test-focused approaches. Others say students aren’t getting enough one-on-one help, especially in underfunded schools.
-
Language evolution: English is constantly changing. Spelling gets looser, grammar rules shift, and new words enter the mix all the time. Some see this as decline, others as evolution.
But what’s your take — are you seeing this in schools, at work, online?

That’s interesting!! I don’t know! We went to the eye doctor and they confirmed (she didn’t totally believe me). She wasn’t in contact with her father and I don’t know if she ever discussed it with her mom or sister.

Semi interesting story. Was driving my exwife around the city and noted how the color tint on one of the buildings as cool. It was a checkerboard pattern or something in different shades of blue/green. She couldn’t see it and said it was “glass colored”. She couldn’t really get how the glass was tinted a color.
Anyways printed out a handful of these and yep, she had partial color blindness. That’s how she found out.
