Learn to write, LOL!

me:
hey
someone found my blog by searching this
"jizz spaghetti sauce dad"
sos@
i mean !

Kelsi: jizz spaghetti sauce dad?
call cps, i think

me: i was mad at you, for one second, because i thought you were text-speaking "cops"
and now i am just laughing

Kelsi: oh my god
i'm so sorry to scare you like that
but that's totally the image that evokes - some poor kid, trying to figure out if it's normal for dad to put jizz in the spaghetti...
"help me, internet"

me: "hlp mi, cal cps!"

Kelsi: "im b ing passvly mlstd"

me: "w/bdy floo-d"

Kelsi: oh jesus god
"n my spgti"
"his what now?"
"spgti"

me: "dis b nrml?"
"my dad sez so"
i have my head down on the desk, laughing

Kelsi: i know

me: IHMHDOTD,L!

Kelsi: one of the partners just walked by
and i had to bite my lip so hard to look like i'm not cackling
um
aihtbmlshtllinc

me: jst snrtd

Kelsi: this is an actual text message in my phone:
"thn t efect is complet"


me: gasp

Kelsi: i was very upset with the sender
she does this horrible text speak thing as well
and she has the same phone as you, so i know that better is possible
but i sometimes wonder if the crusade for intelligent texting (CIT!) is inherently doomed
by people's laziness

    I'm still trying to get h, dyjtma? (hey, did you just touch my ass?) into regular internet-speak. I've been on this crusade for years.

    Also, is it wrong that I refuse to acknowledge people's text messages when they're not grammatically correct?

    I am now unsure as to whether or not you two should be allowed to live together.

    Also, don't invite me over for spgti.

    I'd like to join CIT. Where do I sign?

    Wow, text speak is mind numbingly stupid. "My BFF Jill" is something that will probably stay with me until the day I die, and that is sad. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong decade.

    lol i fkin hate txt spk. 1 of my xs txts "dat" 4 "that" & "den" 4 "then" = O.V.E.R

    I can't stand it when intelligent people write texts like they're 10 years old.

    Jamelah- The jury will allow "h-dyjtma?" And as for your question- no, it is very, very right.

    PdW- If anyone should not be inviting ANYONE over for spgti, it should be YOU not inviting US. You know.

    JB- I will forward you the e-petition.

    Arjuna- You and me both.

    Mindy- I have some text messages from you that would argue differently.

    Click- Hands down, that was the best comment I've ever received. ever. thank you for that.

    Hey! That is not true. I think occasionally I use "u" instead of "you". So SUE ME.

    I think I did something else once that offended you, but chances are I was drunk. Which means it doesn't count.

    i just spent about 5 minutes parsing click's comment.
    fantastic.

    Awww thx Meg!

    ... wanna know the worst thing though? That ex is a barrister (i.e. the kind of lawyer that stands up in court with a horsehair wig and a black, flowing gown on and is all "Yes M'Lord" and "My learn-ed colleague"), which makes her textual butchery of the Queen's English that much more of a turn-off.

    Mindy- You're right. Drunk means never having to say "I'm sorry."

    Kelsi- Fucking brilliant.

    Clicky- THAT IS AWFUL, AWFUL NEWS.
