You hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people's command of English - that's nonsense.

I would not be gloom and doom because it is not at all gloom and doom.

The internet is 95 percent porn and spam

Separate yourself from the gloom and doom seers. You won't do well with them

I got into trouble a while ago for saying that I thought the internet led to increased literacy - people scolded me about the shocking grammar to be found online - but I was talking about fundamentals: quite simply, you can't use the net unless you can read.

There's been so much doom and gloom around here. There is a rainbow at the end of the storm.
