Errors Gramatical

[doomaflatchi]

Okay... it's 4 in the morning, and I can't sleep. I'm wired out on stress for no apparent reason, and insomnia seems a likely bedfellow (pun intended). To this end, I'm going to attempt to relieve stress in the only way I know how right now -- rant. To those of you who understand my particular brand of humor, enjoy

Hahahaha! Amen, Matt! Amen! I agreed with everything you wrote - especially about the "u"s and "r"s. I was in a chat room with my 15-year-old cousin and her friends once, and I had to spend a few minutes deciphering each sentence, trying to figure out what the hell they were talking about. There's only one really bad one from that conversation that comes to mind at the moment: wdym. All the others are too horrible to recall.

And can I say that I LOVE you for that restaurant scene? I would've paid money to see that.

The LORD is my spellcheck, I shall not b n wnt.

He makes me lie down in green fonts,
(instead of li dwn n red)
he leads me beside quiet chatrooms,

he restores my SQL.
he guides me in paths of right-text-ness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
throught the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no abbreviation
for you are with me;
your grammar and your syntax,
they comfort me.

You prepare a chatroom before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with spelling;
my lexicon overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will spell in the way of the LORD
forever

Awesome.

One addendum:

If one exclamation mark wasn't enough to convey your enthusiasm, three will only make you look stupid. In fact, are you really sure you want to use an exclamation mark in the first place? Consider the following examples:

"Bush is a moron."

"Bush is a moron!"

"Bush is a moron!!!"

Take those exclamation marks and put'em where the sun don't shine. This especially applies if you've already proved, at the beginning of the sentence, that the Shift key is too much for you:

"bush is a moron!!"

Considering the abuses to which the poor 1 key is already subjected by 1337 haxxorz lobotomized cave turkeys, maybe some of you should just pry it off your keyboard entirely. Then, shove it all the way up your nose so that at least you'll have something other than vacuum to replace the gray matter you lost huffing paint behind the middle school.

I say "lol." I also say "rofl." I also say other acronyms from the chat window quite frequently. <3

And yet, I also find I have pretty damn good grammar and spelling. XP

Hello Matt

Re: laziness

[doomaflatchi]

You know, I was just thinking about giving you a call earlier today... it's been WAY to fucking long. I've missed you!

We'll have to catch up at some point -- I don't suppose you'd have time for a road trip this holiday season? ~_^ I'll try to give you a call soon; let me know what you think!

Hello again!
I am off to St Thomas on Friday with a friend from San Diego, for 8 glorious days on the beach. Despite my world travels, I have never been at a resort or managed to snorkel. I live a sheltered life.

Expect a phone call during the holidays. You never know, I might go crazy and end up in Dallas just to drive you up the wall.

I should just send you an e-mail. Are you still using the hotmail address?? If not, please send me your new address and I would love to bore you with inane details of my life.

Say hi to Thomas!

Lisa

It's "mattgmiller@yahoo.com". I still use the hotmail one, but the Yahoo address is my primary.

And, for the record, if you show up in Dallas, be prepared for a thorough pouncing. ^_^
