So it's time for a grammar lesson. I'm tired of trying to decipher writings of people and comments as though they are some ancient egyptian script written on a cave. Here it goes ...
*U is a letter in the alphabet not a word. The correct spelling is YOU.
*UR is a place in the Bible - Abram and Lot traveled there. YOUR is the correct word there.
*YOUR is posessive - it does not mean you are. That would be YOU'RE.
*N is also a letter in the alphabet. The only place to use this would be in a place name ie Shop-n-Save. AND would be used there.
*BCUZ - also known as BECAUSE.
*KNO - Laziness took over with this one - there is one letter more on the word to try and spell it. Come on ... KNOW!
*SUM1 - numbers and letters should not be used in the same word. Email addresses are the only exceptions to this and there are so many people with email sometimes you HAVE to have numbers and letters combined. This would actually be SOMEONE
*DIFF is a mathematical term. It means the difference between numbers. DIFFERENT and difference are two seperate things.
*Speaking of different - R is an alphabetical letter, while ARE is a word.
*W/E is only to be used while taking shorthand notes. A keyboard has all the letters of the alphabet and if you have a fast enough word per minute and minimal errors, you can type as someone talks to you. WHATEVER is the word of the day on this one ...
*Puncuation is only to be used at the end of the sentence. There is no. need to put. a period after every. few words in. the. sentence. It is just distracting and there is NO call for it!
I think that is all for today. I'm not going to be an english teacher but laziness has become the norm and I am going to do my best to combat that.
SOME PEOPLE'S KIDS!

Okay i'm glad i actually got that out. I found that it takes longer to think of odd/short ways of spelling stuff than it does just to type everything out. So if people think they are saving time they obviously are wierd. - must note that there are time when text messaging that it IS easier to shorten 'some' stuff, (especially if you are limited to the amount of characters you can use) but definitely not when actually typing. So point is, i agree with you completely
Hope you enjoyed, i just felt like being wierd. Especially since i'm so flipping bored!

Okay, so LOL and ROFLMAO are abbreviations I can understand. And text messaging, I can understand. but when you have and unlimited amount of access and space to type on - don't be so freaking lazy!
And I really loved that - it definately made me smile!
Yeah i realised after i typed them that the aren't really in the same category as the others but i think it helped add to it! I agree totally with you though.
After i'm done house sitting i'm coming and visiting, you best pick a day thats good! (i'm not positive but i think i might be off next wed, but i'm off this sun for sure)
hey i like the change! Going to come visit... and i'm going to keep tellin you!
