IMPERFECTION AT EASE

IMPERFECTION AT EASE

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.
