Mini Rant and I'm going to use English!

I have a pet peeve, it's not one I have to feed, I don't have to take it for walks, but every now and then I let it out and rant about it.

It's all about shortening words, whether in a text or on something like Facebook. Here's an example: wats evry1 doin, how hard is it to actually type that correctly, What's everyone doing, didn't take me much time at all, and it sure as shit looks like I have an education of some sort. Ova, is that short for oval, or maybe someones name, nope it's over, well gee I added a letter and changed another and it took all of 2 seconds if that. I see someone has typed tats, tats as in tattoos or that's, you can only work it out if you read the whole sentence. But geez, one letter and the word is actually a word and not some stupid shortened rubbish. nbox me, one fucking letter moron and it's correct. You go to all the trouble to type and you are too damn lazy to add an I, doesn't even have to be capitals or have correct grammar, but for goodness sake, type the word as it should be.

We have enough trouble with auto correct changing the words we type without us doing it on purpose. And yet it keeps on happening. To me, it's a real issue that just gets my dander up (dander, there's a word you don't see everyday), I want to hack into the account holders account and correct the spelling and then give them a failing mark. I don't have a problem with things like LOL, or LMAO those are things that have come along with instant messenger and texting, we all know they aren't real words. But don't take the English language and turn it into some uneducated crap that makes you look like a fucking idiot.

So there you have it my mini rant, pretty mild considering some of my other rants. Oh wait another one, dropping the damn g on everything, what the hell do you have against the letter g, did it try to abduct you when you were a child. Do you have nightmares where you are hunted down by the letter g, maybe Sesame Street could introduce you to the letter, it's wonderful and it won't hurt you if you use it.

Okay now that's all I think. If I think of anymore I'll be back (in the words of some famous cyborg).
