Dear College/University Students, or Alternately, Anyone Over The Age Of Ten:

Please, for the love of sweet merciful Buddhafish, please, PLEASE type like you have any fucking idea what composes a word.

The pronoun "I" is capitalized. "Kewl" is no longer a cute or current slang word.

Apostrophes are IMPORTANT. "Dont" is not a word. It is letter vomit. "Aint" makes you sound like you're struggling to say "ant".

Commas are also important.

YOU ONLY EVER NEED ONE FUCKING EXCLAMATION POINT.

"Couldn't have". Never, EVER "couldn't of". (Or couldnt. See above point about letter vomit.)

I love you all, seriously, but? YOU ARE FUCKING MURDERING THE LANGUAGE. Some of us LIKE our English intact. LANGUAGE IS THE BASIS OF SOCIETY. PLEASE DO NOT UNDERMINE THIS. I ENJOY BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE.

You are in college. You should know better.

(Anyone younger: Please learn better before you become another college student who doesn't.)

Otherwise perfectly willing to get along with you,
Lyssie ♥

My classmates in this summer creative writing course I took? All terrific in person, but I wanted to throw a dictionary at them sometimes, especially to the guy who kept writing "yeah" as "yea." >.>

The prof considered the use of more than one exclamation point a cardinal sin. Tons of 'em broke that rule. XD;

I really can't hold onto ENGLISH RAGE the way I'd like to. The language is batshit. BATSHIT.

I'm currently betaing fanfic for someone whose native language isn't English and while she's fluent in all other areas written English is obviously out to get her. I don't even know how to begin to explain all the stupid rules. Especially the ones about commas.

Because they are stupid rules. Written English is stupid and capricious and illogical, especially when compared to other languages which are all much more sensible. No language could possible need that many ways to indicate a pause.

dont act liek u knwo so much u stupid B1Y47C|-|!!!!!!!!11111111 your just jealouse bcuz i rite kewler then u LOL

Now give me a moment to put on the dunce cap.

"YOU ONLY EVER NEED ONE FUCKING EXCLAMATION POINT."

Somehow, I feel this sentence deserves an explanation point itself.
