kradical's journal, he went on a semi-rant about the (ab)use of "i" and "e" in front of everything.
Me, I'm still stuck on the fact that it's now considered acceptable usage to say email instead of e-mail. Not by me, it isn't, she said, brandishing her (wooden) cane and chomping her (ivory) fake teeth....
I blame text messaging. Lord knows I abuse texting as much as the next non-teenaged non-geek (my cell phone bill proves that) but it takes me the same amount of time to type the full word in as it does to enter some stupid semi-abbreviated code. Using "U" instead of "you" or similar silliness while corresponding with me? Some folk have already learned that this is...dangerous. To say the least.
If I'm worth the time to talk to, I'm worth the effort of a complete word. Except 'k. At this point, I've caved on the use of 'k. But I feel slightly dirty for it.
On that topic, I have come up with a new technological breakthrough that will make me famous, if not rich. It's an attachment to your iPod that allows you to interact with other people, exchange ideas, and put forward propositions into a group.
It's called an iThink.
In stores by next December. Start saving your pennies now.
