Tween Speak...Not Feeling It

I'm aware that this will directly offend some of my readers, so please take this as my sincere apology. I would like to say that I am not referring to you directly, but to those who actually make up the horrid generation that can currently call themselves 'tweens.' As far as I can tell, these kids have enough attitude to run a small country - or so they think - and yet they cannot put together a coherent sentence and quite frankly this has got to stop.

You all know what I'm referring to...I mean for crying out loud, people are advertising in this 'tween speak' nowadays. Better yet, I was able to come across quite possibly the most annoying example of what I am referring to. Check out this nonsense.

Let's see...the basic ones that I encounter on a daily basis are lol, j/k, lmao, omg, ttul...and the list goes on and on. I'm pretty sure these tweens are having full conversations like this. And you wanna know what I think of this? I think it's pretty dumb.

I mean honestly...are we all in THAT much of a rush that we can't say actual words anymore? Am I a massive toolbag because when I'm chatting with friends online and I am actually laughing out loud I make the executive decision to write 'I'm laughing outloud right now!' Whatever the reason is, I think we need to kick it old school at this point. Let's all say what we really mean...and the ENTIRE WORD!!

It's silly, and quite possibly the reason that these tweens are as rude and prick-like as they are. I think it's an easy fix and we can all work on this every day to stop the madness. Damn the man...save the empire!

I'm sure the tweens won't get that reference...either because I spelled it all out or because they are too cool to watch an awesome movie like Empire Records, but either way...let's do this.

No more loling....I can't take it anymore!!!

I do love you all for reading though!
