OK, you crazy kids...I understand that texting has done away with proper grammar and spelling. I sort of understand why you'd want to shorten something you are having to type with your thumbs on a tiny phone. BUT...if you are at a computer with a real keyboard, why do you still need to talk in text code? It drives me insane! Maybe it is the teacher in me or something.
I can tolerate LOL or OMG or even TTYL, because those are actual abbreviations for longer phrases. But I cannot tolerate using 4 for "for" or c for "see"...those words are already short, people! How much time is typing one letter versus 3 actually going to save you??
And, for Heaven's sake, please oh please do not misspell words on purpose. I don't know why you think it's cool, but it's not. Tyme is not how you spell "time" and lyfe is not how you spell "life." When did we change from i to y?! (The person I have in mind when thinking of this one is 28 years old, anyway...way past the point of "coolness" as it is!) And don't use a k when it's supposed to be a c...krazy is spelled with a c, folks. (This one holds a special place in my heart because...bear with me...this will be hard to tell...Well...when I was in 5th grade, I was in a Spelling Bee and my word was clown. The teacher said, "Clown" and I started sounding it out and immediately said "K-l-o-w-n"...hang on a minute...have to dry my tears from this painful memory........................ok, I'm back. I knew clown started with a c but that pesky /k/ sound got me under the stress of the Spelling Bee! So, please...help keep this painful memory from resurfacing every time I see you use a k for a c...just don't do it.)
I hope u have learnt yo lesson. 2 missuse grammar is a str8-up shame. Git wit me 4 a tyme we can git 2gether. I want 2 c yo face. We can meet @ tha spot. Holla!
