Keo's Box

Chicken Nuggets. More so with dipping sauce.

I get distracted.

Not sure if anyone else ever has the urge for a cheeseburger at 3AM, but I sure as hell did. I acted on this impulse. Now I am full of food and content once again, with no reason to rip WireWulf's head off for poor spelling and grammar usage.

I wonder if anyone else ever notices the abhorrent decline in proper spelling and grammar usage. Sure, if you're from Italy or somewhere and hardly ever have a use for English, it's perfectly fine that your English is broken. Points for trying.

What's amazing though, is someone who's a native English speaker, any age from 10-25 has absolutely NO ability to spell whatsoever! Didn't these people have to pass a class or four in their native language to even graduate? Unless, of course they're a dropout and somehow able to get their own computer to dick about with.

Another piece of this that gets me is the "text talk". "I only use it because it's faster" "It's the internet, nobody cares if you shorten a word up" "I don't want to type out you, it's too much work." Laziness. All of it. You have a full keyboard in front of you, why can't you type two extra letters? Hell, you're already in that area of the keyboard, not like the letters are in a row or anything. Even with modern cell phones that have the whole keyboard, there's no need for text talk. Use T9, or just enlighten yourself and those you converse with in texts by using proper English. (Oh god, proper English?! This man is insane!)

Americans are so damned lazy, they're really the ones that do this. It's rare in the UK or Canada, hell, even the French are smart enough not to do it. It's all a part of "modernizing". Why tune a dial by hand, when you can push a button and it'll do it for you? Why bother walking ten feet to ask someone for something, or yell over to them when you can send a text message? All of this will be our downfall. Forget nuclear war, forget plagues or famine, or even running out of resources. It'll be our own fat asses that kill us in the end, because nobody will want to get up and do anything for themselves. I could put an Ubuntu reference here to reflect my hatred in that, and I think I just have unknowingly.

Basically, we're going to end up in another three/four generations with dumb children that sit and "tlk like dis in a papr for class cause itz da way dey all speek cause der parentz didnt stay in skool" And they'll fucking ace it. I think that's the worst part in all of it.

(Also, adding an e to words that don't need it drives me fucking insane. I want to kill everyone who does it. EX: glamorouse, hilariouse, stupendouse. You must die in a fire. Or eight fires.)

Ever more does my faith in humanity decline.
