Listening to: My Favorite Accident - Motion City Soundtrack
Feeling: annoyed
So in light of recent events having to do with heated discussions involving actual intelligent and coherent remarks being interrupted by stupid imbeciles who can't even spell their own damn last name, I have decided to post a blog. Whoopee! I tend to think a bit at how this all came to be. Where and when did our generation begin it's descent into this hellish maelstrom of idiotic replacements for everyday vocabulary? None can tell exactly when or where, but most have a general idea that the fault can be placed on such things as Instant Messengers, MySpace, and various Forums throughout the internet. Sure, you might be too lazy or not have enough time in your super fast-paced lives and you would like to cut down on how much you have to type. Although, it would take just as much time if not less to type out the full word instead of cutting it down into some non-sensical grouping of random letters because most of the time you spend a minute or two explaining what the damn thing says. Usually I wouldn't mind this very much, but people seem to think that I enjoy deciphering their coded messages. Spending seconds and minutes figuring out what they were saying in their haste to get the message out. And in rebuttal many a person has responded with something along the lines of "i spel guud go suk a cok." Yes, I'm sure your mother is very proud of your ability to articulate at the moment. . . Every once in a while though, I will get someone who will e-mail me back and their speaking has suddenly changed a bit. This is another pet peeve of mine, trying to sound like they speak well all of the time. Forced eloquence is just that. Forced. I'm not saying that I'm perfect either, I slip up and speak rather poorly sometimes, we all do. However, I would ask that when you send me messages and such don't try to sound smarter than you are. Speak however you want, just type out your damn words for the sake of you, me, and God Himself.
