Why do I see incomplete sentences?

[Alfred Greeson]

Unfortunately, internet posts, cell phones, texts, etc. are quick and encourage bad writing habits and we join in without thinking. Remember when we could spell without needing spellcheck? Electronic devices help promote poor wording, spelling and bad punctuation. I don't think many of our kids have had the strict English teachers who know if we didn't learn to write correctly, we would never make it through freshman English at the university and they were right. It is just like the young cashiers who can't make change because they were never taught multiplication tables. Sorry, we old timers aren't smarter, we were just taught better and seeing it in the younger generation is sad and irritating. But, don't let on because we look like old grumps!

I hate it when people start sentences like 'Was at the local gunshop...', 'Thinking about......., thoughts ?' Does it take that much longer to say 'I was at.....' ?
