tiping lyk dis is kool

Don't you guys just hate it when you're talking to someone online and suddenly BAM - "hv 2 go c u l8r." Grammar freaks, I know the feeling in your eyeballs when they burn upon the sight of bad internet grammar. Yes, I sympathize. Things like "i h8 dis bec it dosnt luk fun" and "lo so funny i almost dide." I normally see things like this in my mom's emails. (How can her friends deal with the lack of grammar and punctuation? no offense intended.) What really bothers me is the fact that little kids type like that nowadays. It is not good for their future. I don't want any kid writing paragraphs, essays, etc. in BAD GRAMMAR. What happened to the Shift key? The quotation mark key? The question and exclamation mark key? Lack of grammar even affects the way people write with pencil and paper!! It's not that hard, really, to add an a and e to 'hv.' I really hate 'hv' and 'bec.' GAHHHHH. Another thing to be concerned about is the overuse of bad grammar online. It causes forgetfulness of how the word is really spelled. Were the kids these days even taught how to differentiate 'their' from 'there' and 'they're'? Even I once was confused because so many people used the word incorrectly. I had this editor worksheet that was talking about racehorses. It said, "Their off!" It looked correct to me, but my mom told me it was wrong. And I looked at it again, and still saw nothing wrong. Then my mom told me it was 'they're', and I went 'Oh, yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.' And I was really ashamed of myself for forgetting that, because I kinda see myself as a grammar freak, XD. (If you talk to me online you won't believe that.) Another thing. tiping lyk dis is not kool. Whenever I go out somewhere, the car passes by the place called 'Kwik Kar Lube and Tune' and I just sit in the car clenching my fists wanting to rip those K's off.
And with that I conclude today's rant.

  1. Right? THERE just are some people who never paid attention to THEIR english teacher in school, and if THEY'RE reading this right now, they probably have no idea what this means.
