Grammar Mini-Rant

Woah! Two posts in as many days! Crazy, I know.

I've ranted about grammar before, and Lord knows that I make many mistakes when I'm writing, but I can at least say that I hit the spell check before I post things, and sometimes even re-read things to make sure I don't sound like a complete and total moron.

Evidently not many people do...

I was reading the news today because I'm a good little plebe, and I noticed a lot of typos in news articles.
Oh well.
Not really going anywhere with that.

Acronyms and abbreviations are great, don't get me wrong. I use them all the time in conversation but I make sure I know what they mean.
Lets take "ttyl" for example.
One of the more common acronyms on the interwebs, it stands for "talk to you later." I explained that because evidently that is not common knowledge.
Today someone told me "ill ttyl to you later" and I wasn't really sure how to respond...
Part of me wanted to call them out on their stupidity, and part of me kind of wondered if she really was that stupid as to actually go around telling people she would "talk to you later to you later."

I had another thought.
And I lost it.
I feel that this post is somewhat less for that.
Life goes on.


HAHA!
Irony.
My favorite.
I hit "post" before I used the spell check.
Outstanding.

Most acronyms are annoying as it is.

The internet ones...when people acronym everything.

Then people have to be asses about them.

SAAAAADDDDD

The whole "your" "you're" situation bothers the bejesus out of me.
