Short on Patience, Long on Words
What is with our passion for abbreviations? And while we’re at it, why is “abbreviations” such a long word?
I firmly believe in spelling out words entirely. Chatspeak is a last resort for me, reserved for those who don’t deserve the effort. For example, if I were typing a breakup email (yes, I’m an awful person), it might read something like this…
Sup Ex,
Yes, u hurd me… U r my ex now. We r thru. It’s ur fault. U shouldn’t have wlkD away aftr our fyt. Y did u leaV? Y did u do dis 2 me? If u reply 2 dis letta, I dnt care f u say u will BRB or BBL. The fact is dat u rly said TTFN. Omg. I m seriS. I m nt LOL… nor m I ROFL or LMAO… I m nt evn ROFLMFAO. IMO, I honestly <3’d u. U wr my qt. U made me say ILY. U hurt me. WTG, jerk. FML.
I wish I knu the 411. Nt every1 n the wrld has ESP. It all hapnd so fast… 1 day I was @ the comp, but thN, I went AFK to vzit u. And as I went n 2 ur home, wut did I c? I saw u and ur other luvr. I wuz ^set. I ran 2 anoth AVE, BLVD, RD, ETC… I jst had 2 get 4, 4 away. The runN made me lose a lot of lbs (IE. APPROX 2).
@ home, my ETA wuz 4:00 PM. I prolly ran @ a pace of 1k MPH. Not dat u care tho. U always had a lo IQ. N e wA, here’s the surpriz: I filmd u cheatin on me. LOL! Take dat! Wld u like a copy on VHS or DVD? Uhh… well… no 1 rly uses a VCR n e mor, but I’ll gladly make a VHS 4 ur parNts. Yes, dey gt a copy. ROFL. FYI, now u r the 1 dat is SOL. Dey will gt 2 watch evry sec of it. The day I send it is TBA. Liv n’ fear!
O, no need 4 thx… I’ll gladly say yw n advance.
RSVP 4 ur doom ASAP! (BYOB)
RIP,
Ur Ex Luvr
PS: FU
Okay, I lied. That took way more effort than writing the actual words.
I think I’ll ditch the shortcuts and cutesy initials. In terms of communication and a clearer exchange of ideas, it’s just better PR.

Hope you'll have fun at the waterpark then!
Meaghan!
Haha! I know, right? I'm just the bestest person ever (:
Masoud
Haha, yes. Neither one of them.. I was learning how to stand on a skateboard without falling!!!
30 minutes later I had learned how to turn left AND right. Amazing, right? 😛
All of this because one of the girls there was listening to "Avril Lavigne – Skaterboy", and then the idea of just trying it out popped into my head.
Ice skating is.. huh, I've never done it before either but it looks like a pain in the ass whenever they hurt themselves by falling on the ice.. x)
I was really close getting killed (kinda..), but of course I am like superman so I managed to run out of the house before any of them even bothered to get out of bed.
"Masoud, you are the most annoying thing God ever made" – was said by one of the people there XD
Waterpark? Sound kinda fun.. or just boring.
What do I know, since I've never been to one, so you'll have to tell me something about it when you get back or so 😛
Meaghan!

Because we're random? Lol I don't know.

Jill

Aw, sorry you were chased by a bee. At least it wasn't a killer bee. Think positive Justin! 😛
A super hero? Me? Pssht. Though being able to fly would be the shit 🙂

Ugh. Just reading that gave me a headache. Dx I'm the same way with chatspeak. If someone text/IM's me with that, I ignore them/don't reply back. People call me a grammarwhore for that.
Lee
Haha, go ahead and steal it. 😀
Thanks and you're welcome!
