Call me rude or snobbish I don't care - minor rant on the English language |
|
I refuse to reply to messages from people who type " Wut " as " what " and " u " as " you . It gets on my nerves and turns me off . What happened to the English language ?
Now back to your snow day activities ...

8. Yeah I know what is coming . Pretty much anything here these days |
|
is popcorn entertainment . This rant came from an e-mail that someone sent me . The "what" is not that long - why do people shorten it to "wut" . I don't even use it when I send text messages ... ok I am done now .

and other shit like 2bad4U. Fuck you. Write the whole thing out - it's a sign of respect for the person to whom you are communication.
Of course, if two friends want to do this, that's fine - but when writing to a stranger, leave out the cute shit and act like a mature human being.

12. Not only do I agree with everything here, I absolutely love the |

way it's phrased. The "fuck you" was placed perfectly, and the last sentence was flawless.
Classic. :applause:
This "2bad4u" shit has started to cost me friends, BTW. When I see "a card 4 u!" on an envelope, I have the mailman return to sender. I can be a major-league asshole on this issue and I am not interested in being flexible on it, either. You have to pick your battles, true, but I've chosen this one.
I have also set my e-mail filters to send any instances of "4 u" or anything similar straight to the trash. If you can't write to me like a fucking adult, you can sit on something sharp and spin.

14. Thanks for saying so... |

I hate that kind of drivel. I can understand misspellings, or if someone is legitimately semi-literate, but that is just lazy. It makes me picture the author as some crude, Hutt-ish thing.
