I really dislike shortening words in text messages. I dislike
when I do it, if I ever do that, or when people send me shortened
words. For some reason like rotflwtasartp just seems a little obnoxious.
Writing proper is better in my opinion. It's really hard for me to sit
and read a paper that is just one giant sentence. So I went to the doctor
today they said I am sick I don't feel sick though so I called him a liar
I punched him in the face and got kicked out I'm so awesome. Doesn't
that just seem really obnoxious? Run on sentences really bother me.
Even when we did the writing collage, I felt myself typing to periods
during the invisible writing, just in case I missed one. I guess it's just
a weird quirk. For some reason, spelling really bothers me too. If someone
puts to instead of too, or they're instead of their it really makes me want
to sit down and get a red pen and circle the word. Haha. I'm definitely not
saying I'm a perfect writer and don't make mistakes. I really try not to
fall into incorrect grammar or wrong sentence structure.

I'm ok with shortening certain words a couple general words like ya, k, u, but for the most part I agree. Whenever I'm talking on facebook chat or aim (do people still use aim?) I am the only person to spell correctly and use proper grammar. I usually have a comma in just about every sentence. And by the way, what does rotflwtasartp stand for? I can figure out maybe half. Do people actually say that?
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Please tell me what rotflwtasartp means!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of Jack and Moe for keeping the faith!!
Excellent topic. What do you think will eventually happen to our language?
I agree with you in writing shorten words annoy me. Shortening words are like a pet peeve to me. People these days, or for what i have seen, are typing less and less into what they have to say when they are talking to someone. When i send a message, i have to spell out "you" and "yeah" stuff like that. The only thing i will ever write that is shortened is "idk" and thats just to save space for what else i have to say. I even see parents trying to write like that and that makes me feel unconfortable haha. But great topic to write about.
