Mediocrity masquerading as brilliance these days. Such is the degeneracy of the times. Professors leaving online messages unpunctuated, improperly punctuated and poorly punctuated with sentences ending without full-stop, the lower case being used where upper case ought to be at the beginning of a sentence and terrible gaps abiding between word and word, and word and punctuation mark. Then what of the commoner? Precision, perfection and punctiliousness seem to be now relics of a distant past. And this is true of self-advertised experts in other fields as well with much fan-following bolstering proliferation of such linguistic aberration. Indeed, we have arrived at a cultural nadir where things must by the force of natural resistance take to an upswing. Hoping for such a regeneration provided there is mass awareness of this proliferating imperfection in every sphere of our cultural life.

Such a one is a model for today's would-be scholars and the ones who are already donning professorial robes.
