Grammar and Punctuation Definitely Matter

                                                   A Word, Please:


The writer of this article talks about how many linguists believe that the likes of Twitter, is causing many languages to suffer at the feet of 140 characters. They then go over how they recently visited a real-estate website and found a few, although minor, grammatical errors. Before doing so; however, they commit one in the second paragraph, if you consider the one-sentence fragment to be a paragraph. 

They go over using hyphenation at the appropriate time and when to spell out a number rather than using its roman numeral counterpart (any number 10 or below in-case you were wondering). Overall, the idea behind this post is solid, making fun of a less-than-competent website developer that probably made minimum wage while making the website while not giving the websites actual URL in order to keep the post some-what classy. It also makes sense that this post is on a webpage that needs questionable-at-best companies to advertise on it in order to stay afloat. Correspond this with the fact that the post itself has errors makes it laughable and a fun read.
