Weekend - sick - what happened to good grammer?

[morganskye]

Saturday I went to see Daybreakers with Tara. It was very good, although there was a little too much unnecessary gore. Still, it was a novel approach to the Vampire story. I think it's worth a watch if you're into the genre.

Sunday was a whole lot of nothing. ^_^

Monday was hell. I had a nasty headache all day and ended up taking Tuesday off. Today I feel like complete crap. :( Stomach flu perhaps? It's not severe enough, but it still makes me want to blaaaahhhh....

I joined plentyoffish.com a while back and I'm honestly shocked at just how many people think that this is a sentence: "ur cute am in sville lets cuddle"

Ok, yes I get that we're living in a generation of tweets and texts. Yes I know what you're trying to tell me, and perhaps you're even trying to be cute. However you FAIL. No I won't message you back. I like to write real words. Heck, I rarely abbreviate my texts because it takes just as much key punching to get '2' and it does for 'to'. >_< Also, what happened to the period? Do these guys realize just how hard it is to read a run-on sentence? The worst offender is a guy who is in his first year of college. O_O What happened to standards? What gullible woman would think that this is a proper way to talk to a lady?

I love Twitter, but it's no excuse for poor writing skills. If anything it's more of a challenge to skillfully pick just the right words in under 140 characters.

I'm in the same boat. I love language so much that text speak pains me (when used seriously, of course). I'm all for utility with certain abbreviations, but much like good cheese, you just can't substitute some things. A friend of mine calls me a left-brained word fetishist whenever I pick on one of our guildmates who is 14 and has pretty poor grammar and vocabulary skills. I do it out of love, I swear!

If you don't correct them then it'll get worse.
