Blogging Manners

I have noticed that many blogs are well done when it comes to grammar, spelling and style. On the other hand, it seems an equal number have adopted a grammar, spelling and style where anything goes. Ebonics used to be associated with undereducated folks from the poor side of town, at least until Oakland schools adopted it. We have reached a point where capitalization, which should be used to communicate truth, is gone. Punctuation, useful for more than clarifying the Eats Shoots and Leaves statement, has followed capitalization into the boonies. What is left is a contracted, ebonic like language of the electronically printed page. Before you LOL, consider that what we say in our blogs should communicate to those who may not be fluent in EE (electronic ebonics). So, be careful out there.
