Dumbing down of language

I know that more and more homework is being giving to younger kids, but why not keep the high standard of language.  If a child doesn't know a word then they should be asking what it means rather than having us simplify the words so a younger child can understand it and do the same lesson.  If we expect them to do that work, it should truly be the same.  With social media & texting these days, it seems to be that many people are dumbing down their language.  The fact that time can't be spent spelling out a whole word like "U r 2 cool.  Ttyl." I just don't understand the laziness.  What really gets me is when they're all spelt wrong using "gon" instead of going to or, my goodness, the worst is "their there they're" & "your you're"!  Come on people!  If you don't know which is correct ask or look it up yourself!  It is absurd that someone would not know the difference and when/how to use one!  I wish we could go back to having people read Shakespeare!  This form of language is just so beautiful and inspiring!  To even have schools push for this status of writing i feel like would be seen as insane, but really...why not?  It is such a high standard of writing, wouldn't you want that?  The laziness and just the low quality of language today is just really mind blowing and very sad.  We should be striving for the highest quality for our children.
