How Technology is Ruining MyProse

Often, bloggers and blog commenters will express concern that these rapid posts and dashed out sentences are trashing our ability to write long, nuanced essays. Or that easy access to spell check has wrecked our ability to spell. Or that google has diminished our attention span.

I would like to note the impact of computer industry’s use of compound words with random capitalization (ie. WordPerfect, PowerPoint, iPod, MySpace). I sometimes feel compelled to turn perfectly normal words into computer software spelling (ie. BabySitter, PlayGround, HomeWork, HangOver).
