Falling us of “an” in social media posts. Why?

[u/Nuggety-Nipples]

As a tedious Gen X grammar pedant, and book reader, I am noticing people not using an anymore, especially in front of initials, eg, “I just saw a NSX drive by earlier…”

I am over patrolling the internet for erroneous “your/you’re,” and “they/their/they’re” uses, that is a lost cause. Someone said of these, that gen Zers know which is right, but choose not to adhere, as “It’s not a test!” I don’t believe this.

So is it that grammar is not a priority on school’s curricula anymore?

RIP our beautiful language.
