In My Best Samuel L. Jackson: "English, MotherFucker! Do You Speak It?!!!!"
What is our language coming to?
I have been cruising the blogs just to see what other folks are putting out there. I've even added a few to my daily reads. There is a ton of original, witty, and biting commentary out there, as well as some of the strangest stuff. It is pure entertainment, as I love to read.
Here is an example of some of the pure crap out there, though:
"cant believe it my frenz actually made fun of my name....i juz cant be bothered for the first few times im ok wif it we do joke around but den if it continues den i dun tink its funny....its veri humiliating somehow....enough of these nonsense Anthony.........its not funny ok?"
This is word for word. I was going to paste a post with much of the same content, but with the author's original idea to alternate upper and lower case letters at random instead, but just seeing the text on my screen nearly created an embolism in my brain.
And this language is common all over the web! What in THE hell is our common speech and text coming to? This goes far beyond the common usage of on the fly acronymns for common phrases used in conversing via the web and text messaging. This is a trend of purposely trying to sound or read as being illiterate. I'm sorry. I didn't know that literacy wasn't cool. I'm so un-hip.
I guess I'll go power up tha stereo and turn tha crunk up till it's off tha hook...
