The only thing that I would really appreciate bloggers on this site to avoid is texting/IMing jargon because I feel that texting and IMing is quickly becoming the real world, and I find that to be a very sad thing. People are becoming unsure of how to act outside of that little screen on their phones or the box on their computer screens. Real communication skills are being lost and it is getting to the point where some people can’t converse without LOLing out loud or OMGing with great conviction.
Now I know that while not everyone has succumbed to this new form of english there are others who have embraced it so completely that they use it in everyday conversations. I love it when people tell me they were, "ROFLMAO". I was told just this afternoon in a verbal conversation that the person I was talking to would "BRB". I just can’t wait for the world to start talking in emoticons. Semicolon parenthesis!!
The English language is rapidly deteriorating into a bland, tasteless, and spineless array of impotent phrases and juvenile statements and I would like to do my part in preserving what is left of that wonderful language! While it is easier and more convenient in some ways to use this new form of English, I enjoy a good old-fashioned conversation I can get my head into, really sink down in, and just let my thoughts float on the ever stirring tide that is our language.
So BTW, next time you think its NBD to LOL while SETE, don’t forget to C&G about how you could be OO before you ask MO. So here’s TOY. TNX for reading and KIT, its been a LTNS. XOXO!
