Week Two-Biggest Pet Peeve

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.

  2. Haha 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!

  3. I 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
