My hypothesis with this is that reading good literature has gone out of fashion.
As someone who was illiterate to the age of 8 I became a voracious reader in my early 20's.
I devoured Victorian literature and anything else I could get my hands on that I had time to read and that was considered a 'classic'.
I have been called a snob by one friend, however I think reading decent literature gave me an education that far outweighed anything I learnt at school or university.
Here's the problem - Victorian/'classic' novels or books by Dickens, Elliot, Ishiguro or Haruki Murakami are not generally considered light reads and we just don't seem to have time nowadays for a good few hours of reading.
The only way to increase your vocabulary and improve your grammar is to be exposed to more vocabulary and good grammar and literature is perhaps the best way to do this.
As a modern example - many people seem to use 'login' as a verb instead of using 'log in'. While it's a small pedantry of mine the clearer you can be the less chance there is for misunderstanding.

I agree completely. I am just sad that I did not read more when I was younger. It's a struggle to catch up these days.

Not many books from the Victorian era have characters logging into anything.

You're not wrong there.
Language has changed a lot since those times - in Victorian novels to "make love to someone" was something that was spoken of openly in polite society whereas to "know" someone was a term that would never be used unless you wanted to cause a deep sense of insult(yep, even back in the 19th century people were triggered).

And far too many people refer to "logging on" to a website, when they simply mean "visit". The BBC is especially bad in this respect.
|

Unless I'm entering my own credentials, it's not "logging on".
Must be a regional thing - I've never heard anyone use "logging on" in the way you describe. But you're right, that would annoy me.

Taking a look at the Ingenico site, I'm betting it's a localization (language translation) problem. The text on the whole site has a stilted feel to it.
The text was probably authored in French and then translated to English, and the English was not vetted by a native speaker familiar with the topic.

Posting since I recall at least one other person being interested when I mentioned this a week or two back.

I admit I'm feeling rather more twitchy about this than their attempt to generate attention on FB, because it's set at the same ~10k goal, but even with a number of interested people (myself included) wanting to buy spares it's a really high target to try and hit.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've just had a "your router is corrupted" spam call* but they obviously aren't doing as well as they were.
This time they tried to give me the spiel in Hindi instead of English, so it looks like they can't afford English speaking spammers any more...
* It came in on a number on a block of phone numbers set on my phone as "spammer1, spammer2, ..." is how I know
