One of my biggest pet peeves is pretty minor, but I say, understandable. Not many more things annoy me than when people type "u" intead of "you", "wut" instead of "what", or anything like that. I know that it's shorter, I know that it's faster, but it makes you seem like a straight up idiot. Do we really not have the time in the world to add one or two extra letters to make ourselves seem much more intelligent? All the new lingo just degrades the human language. Some may call it slang, but I call it dumb.
Also, whenever people can't spell the word "definitely". NO ONE can spell this word. By no one, I mean about half of everyone. There's something about that word that gives people an extreme difficulty. Maybe there was a typo in the teaching manual in elementary school? I don't know. Whenever I see the variances like "definatly" or "defanitaly", or whatever else the brain can confuse it for, it, in a way, makes me feel dumb for them.
haha, i totally understand what you mean. i mean wut is the world coming to? when we can't even spell write. or when r punctuation is of a bit u know? one thing that every one is really bad at is capitalizing the i, it bugs me 2. or the whole omg and lol thing... why cant anyone take the time to spel then all the way out? Its definately annoying. anyways i gtg... later
ReplyDeleteHaha yes I definitely agree. I swear I'm the only one out of my friends who texts words normally. Personally, I think texting or typing like that just makes me sound stupid. I'll occasionally say "omg" but that's pretty much it; no "lol's" or anything else. Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the word definitely. I have had debates with people about how to spell this word. I don't understand why it is so hard. I have seen people completely butcher this word and it is very embarrassing
