The rise in illiteracy rates is really fucking disturbing and this attitude (the parent) is part of what's to blame.

Looking at the examples in the comment above, I really hope it's not that bad.

It's like the stupid "ROFL"/CLOWN by political fighters, and the (handclap) 500 times in a row, like. Or the ROFL by people who are trying to make their shit seem "funnier" than it every could be and only makes it more obnoxious.
