Random 3am rant time.

I hate when people shorten words that are already short, like turning "you" into "u", "to" into "2," "why" into "y". It's these are only two and three letter words people!! How hard is it to type three letters? Are you really in that much of a rush or is what you have to say so important that you have to make sure you post it seconds before you could have if you had spelled out those words! I saw this post of a quote from iLMM that was written like this:

I hate u! well then Y did u KISS ME!??!?!?!?! .... i like u..... so u hate me.... and u like me??? now u see y i need to be in here!?!?!?!?!?!

and it made me want to dragon kick a baby. One, this is a direct quote from the episode, treat it as such. Write out every word, capitalize "I" (which is another thing I can't stand, when people don't capitalize that word...it should always be capitalized, no exceptions), capitalize after exclamation points and question marks, only use one, three at maximum for emphasis don't use 100 question marks and exclamation points at the end of a surprised statement, it's unnecessary. I know this is the internet and people have adopted a sort of "shorthand" but it still infuriates me whenever I see people type like that. Rant over.
