I decry the continuing decline of Pinoy's English proficiency.. For a country that claims to have both Filipino and English as our primary languages, we have effectively run ourselves out of contention as a leading choice for the BPO industry..
Noong araw, kapag mali-mali ang spelling at grammar mo eh mapapagalitan ka talaga ng teacher. Sa panahon ngayon eh papagalitan pa yung teacher o yung kumorek kesyo masyadong mahigpit at ang mahalaga daw eh naiparating naman daw yung mensahe doon sa sinulat. And this has heralded the phenomenon of "Smart Shaming" as prideful idiots band together to refuse correction.
The result? Nobody wants to make an effort to offer corrections anymore. Instead of people graciously accepting correction, we get rabid retorts like "ikaw na ang perfect" "ikaw na ang matalino" and "edi wow." And this has resulted in a steady increase in spelling and grammar errors not just in social media but also in schoolwork. End result? Declining English literacy.
Wala lang. may mga nabasa na naman kasi akong mali-mali..
