guff » Memo to some bloggers*
here are these things called sentences and paragraphs. Please look into them.

* You know which ones you are.

This is the second such post I’ve seen recently. Both made me laugh out loud. As Karen Walker says, “It’s funny ‘cuz it’s true!”

I’d also like to point out that “u” and “r” instead of “you” and “are” aren’t cute, they never were cute, and they won’t ever be cute. People who can’t at least make an attempt at writing half-way properly in their own language should be sent back to first grade until they get it correct. My first impression of anyone, who uses those “internet abreviations” in emails and blogs and message boards, is he is not nearly as intelligent as he thinks he is. I can understand using such things in IMs and text messaging, but no one is in that much of a hurry that they can’t spell out simple words, particularly if he or she wants to be taken seriously.
