Welcome to the Post-Literate Society

Here's a brief Wired article on the havoc email and the internet are inflicting on writing. Here's a Slashdot thread on the article. The article contains a link to another headline I wanted to link to this week, citing the fact that a reader of an email has only a 50% chance of correctly ascertaining the tone of said email.

Edit: The "another headline" link -- the one about the tone of an email-- was fixed.
