Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I feel like a major unacknowledged aspect of Why The Internet & Social Media Are Frequently Terrible is that written communication is a *skill* - or a set of skills, rather - where you can't progress if you don't acknowledge that fact.

Which, sidebar, is one of the reasons why internet slang/emojis/formatting is so important - it helps to convey tone and inflection in a medium without those things, attempting to compensate for lack of familiarity with the speaker by use of a shared written dialect.

ANYWAY. I'm not going anywhere particular with this; it just bugs me that writing is so often undervalued as a skill that even when - or maybe because - most of us do some form of it every day, it's not viewed as something you can be meaningfully bad or good at outside of books.
