Know Your Grammar (in a textspeak world)
I found this as an icon and then as a list:
***
TOO many people like TO think they are trendy by substituting numbers FOR letters or words.
2 is a number. It denotes a quantity. It is neither a preposition nor an adjective.
4 is also a number. It too denotes a quantity. Like the number two. It is not a preposition. It is spelled F-O-R. Try it sometime.
"Wat" is a Buddhist temple in Cambodia or Thailand. "Wut" is not a word. They are by no means Pronouns.
Do not treat them like a Pronoun. Do you know W-H-A-T I am saying?
"lol" is NOT a punctuation mark. Don't end sentences with it. Try using a period, question mark, or exclaimation point.
If you think that everything you type is so damn funny, chances are, we are laughing AT you. Not WITH you.
"r" is a letter. It is not a word. When A-R-E you going to understand that?
"ur" is the sound of uncertainty. It does not mean "Your", "You're" or "You are".
How much time do you save by typing "u" instead of "Y-O-U"?
Is the time savings worth looking like you are uneducated?
