Why are we communicating with each other like a pack of illiterate 11year olds? In this day and age with spell check and predictive text on phones its more difficult to type something incorrectly than correctly. So why then when I was doing a bit of Facestalking the other day did I stumble upon this on the wall of a friend of a friend of a friend.... (and I apologise if this is your post but honestly )"....phoned me this morning on her way to chch to go shopping for a dress for da wedding it is so fuckn bad the cathedral is half gone n there r deaths 200 people trapd n a building n 2 buses buried." Beyond ridiculous!
Apparently <3 is a sideways love heart. Personally I don't see how loved I would feel if someone sent me one of those and as for thx. WTF? Turns out you could write a novel using abbreviations and some people would understand it. They would probably be under the age of 18 but WE (whatever). There isn't even any punctuation!
So my rant is over for today. I've shown you all how old and grumpy I am and now you know if you "lol" me I have judged you just a little.
On a lighter note Gusband and I went and saw Kitty Flanagan last night and I laughed until I cried. There was a whole lot of ROTFL.
Use your words campers. xx
Lucy – Andrew for the record I only understood about half of what you just wrote.
I think we might be old… I remember a time when I thought that 25 was getting up there & any where over 30 was over the hill!!! Yes campers we are getting older, whinier & need to go to bed earlier, not to mention these bloody abbreviations.
For years I thought I was getting “lots of love” turns out everyone is just laughing at me!
It takes me ages now to work out what people are trying to tell me…. Just tell me in English already.
Life keeps moving faster & I don’t have time to learn a new written language! I have enough trouble with this one.
So everyone I won’t judge you if you abbreviate, be just remember I probably don’t understand a word of what you sent me.
Have a happy day campers XXxx
Driving back from South coast, was appalled by how many misspellings, grammatical errors and just plain stupid things appeared on signs. Although there was a terrific 'make your own message' a la outside the front of churches, right on the Princes Hwy that just said 'Penis'. LOL!!!
