That XKCD comic makes a good point: grammar ability is a poor measure of intelligence. Perhaps I was wrong to think of it as "bringing humans down".

- umanwizard 7y agoGrammar ability is a fine measure of intelligence. Adherence to arbitrary conventions in situations where they’re unnecessary is, on the other hand, a poor measure of grammar ability. Do you really believe that most people who write “u” in an SMS are unaware that it’s written “you” according to formal conventions?
