MySpace is still broken

March 27, 2006

MySpace keeps accidentally depositing messages that are not intended for me into my mailbox. Even though this message was written for someone else, my respect for the English language requires me to de-friend this person:

o so wut the fuck happen lol u going out with him lol son i need 2 ask something lets say i we liked each other put u no how u live in L.A & i live in NY lolz iz tat stuped lolz lolz lolz lolz anywayz im not gonna ask her i started 2 think imma jus hat her 4 the rest of my life looooooooooooooolz

Oh, isn’t that romantic? No, actually, I’m really asking; I can’t tell.

    If you find the crumbling of the very foundations of our civilization to be “romantic” then “yes” would be your answer.

    Upon cursory inspection I’m pretty sure “put” means “but”. I have a hunch also that the author’s use of “lol” instead of elipses as blanket punctuation is significant. Maybe post a few more?

    Fascinting! Unfortunately (?), that is the only message I’ve ever received from that particular sender, so I have but one sample of the writer’s idiolect.

    Let’s call in a linguist!

    Are we not men? Apparently, we are Devo!

    Y’know, there oughtta be a law about hating anyone if you do not in fact know how to spell the word. Mak luv not war, I sez. FWIW. YKWIS? LOLZ. ETC.

    Jesus!

    Not that I needed any more proof of the dumbing down of America, mind you, but I do thank you, Jen, for offering a glaring example of just how rapidly our de-evolution is progressing. If Mark Mothersbaugh is reading this, he must be laughing his ass off.

Got something to say?
