I would say its only recently noticeable by some as more communication is
now by written word.

Yeah, I bet that is the main effect.

I wonder who used to see what the dregs wrote in the past ?

Presumably teachers and those who run the dole queues.

Actually, a very good point I had not considered - yes there is much
more written communication these days, but I don't recall anyone who
couldn't read or write to a standard before all of this.
