It's refreshing to know that someone else texts using the full English language. I remember using the word "nevertheless" in conversation without realizing it and getting weird looks. Go figure.
And by the way...
FIRST!
3:58, I'm sorry that you don't use large words while your texting, but just because your unable to use your brain doesn't mean that others share that inability.
As a female, I have to say using correct grammar and spelling, wherever, is incredibly hot. Especially since I live in the '336' district where neither are used. How lame of me...
Agreed. 2:20, "lexicon" is typically used to describe collective vocabulary (the vocabulary of a language as a whole, as opposed to simply one person.
Not a bad try, though.
you people who are all claiming the linguistic upper hand are so ignorant. Yes, there are grammar rules prescribed to us by language police. But there's so much more interest in studying the way people really speak, and following those trends. You can spend your whole life trying to enforce grammatical rules, but in the end they will all change.
it's kind of funny when people get upset about the way people talk, and then feel the need to showcase their amazing vocabulary and grammar... yeah you may know it but do you seriously expect us to believe you talk that way in regular conversation?? i admit that some of you very well may speak like you're an elite upper-crust society member but in all truth how many of you truly do?? *sits and waits for the onslaught of people typing in nobby british accents*
7:26: Actually, the dangling preposition rule is no longer a given. Either one would be considered correct.
7:31: I, for one, type almost exactly the way I speak. It's much easier than having to remember to shift between "formal" and "casual" modes. I do not, however, use a British accent. (c:
8:48
No, they didn't.
Sidenote: So, having beyond a disyllabic vocabulary puts you on the upper crust of society? Well, that just makes me feel special!
I truly do love the fact that everyone is arguing about grammar, but what I'd really like to know is what this girl had tattooed on her.
And by the way, 8:48, why don't you go pick yourself up a dictionary? You know, one of those big books that say what words mean. Maybe then you would realize that "profundity" is actually a real word. Nice try though, loser.
I love when people try and sound smart yet it is blantantly obvious they went onto a thesaurus due to the fact that the "synomyn" they use, isn't correct in the context of their statement.
Hey 3:358, lots of people text words similar to, and including, the word profundity. I am one of them. Just because you have an IQ of 85 and a vocabulary smaller than an eighth grader doesn't mean that everyone is an ignorant asshole like yourself and those you correspond with.
What word did the op make up...? \n\nAnd btw, 8:38, the point is not to spend your life enforcing archaic grammar rules. The point is to spend it hanging around with people smarter than you.
I'm so fuckin' sick of these fake-text accusations with no more basis than merely "dur-hur nobody toks lyk dis n txt!"
Go choke on a railroad spike, you fucking neanderthals.
