I guess I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. On one hand, I can understand that some people just aren't good typists, and it's easiest to cut corners. Also, colloquialism is something that shouldn't be disregarded. I don't believe it takes longer to decipher shit like that than it does for the other person to type it correctly, especially if that person isn't that deft at typing.

Usually, I just don't really give a shit. It's aggravating at times, sure, but whenever I see people that just go absolutely ballistic because of the way someone types, I just have to chuckle a bit. Sure, proper grammar is "important," but with all the reasons (sufficient or not) there are for people to cut corners, I just think it's still a bit too trivial to be getting bent out of shape over.

That's just me, though.

I recently had a conversation with a girl that was probably one of the most horrifying experiences ever. None of this is made up.

Her: hey yew. whats up?

Me: Hmmm, nothing really. How's it going for you?

Her: pretty swell. it seems like i havent talked to yew in awhilez.

Me: Yeah, it's been quite a while. We have lunch together too, so it's really rather pathetic. Anyway, anything interesting happen to you lately? I'm decently tired, so I'm off to bed.

(And here's where the fun begins...)

Her: that iz kinda pathetic. :/ lawlz. nothing too interesting has been going on. school iz kinda crazy plus practice plus student council plus float meetings makes life kinda hectic lawlz. yeahh this weekend was pretty great. friday me dillon lindzey and tyler went and saw nick&norahs infinite playlist. which was an AMAZINGG movie. then we went and played at tobyzz. saturday i went and had lunch wiff my cousin then went to sheetz and played at tobyz. stayed teh night wiff lindz. woke up for church this morning. then played wiff toby all day. lawlz. eekz. i am so not ready for tomorrow. we havent had practice since our meet last wednesday. it iz going to be like starting over. i am totally going to die. YIKES!

God dammit, I almost hung myself with a belt from my underused pull-up bar.

Edit: She's an honor roll student also.

^^ Bwahahaha! That's... wow. Maybe our two friends should meet each other and live a happy life in la-la land together.

I love a lot of internet culture, but his and my examples are just wrong.

Do not diss the la-la!

I like the interwebz, just not when people speak in the wonderful language of Runescape.
