I've noticed the same thing myself.
Age may be part of it. I'm curious as to how much of it, if any, is the result of a significant portion of one's reading consisting of on-line content in which the writers don't bother with correct spelling (or grammar, or punctuation).
Sadly, a lot of folks also don't bother with - or are incapable of - sound reasoning!
