What really annoyed you today


Recommended Posts

One of my biggest pet hates is text talk. If I was to ever appear on the program Room 101 it would be first in line to dissapear into it's murky bowels followed very closely by reality TV shows. Now admittedly it means I tend to take more than a day to send a text message and that's before i've proof read it, which is why I ring people 99.9% of the time rather than text.

My specific frustration though relating to all of this is a response to a status update made by somone I know on a friend's facebook page, which was littered with text talk I could barely translate and on more than one occasion the word 'of' spelt 'ov'......What is the world coming to!

David? I think I love you! :D I do have to admit to using it in text messages to get as much said in a single text as possible. I do however fail to see the point on social networking sites, email, penned notes. . . HERE! when free space and a bloody keyboard are there to use.

After admitting to my underlying frustration over the inappropriate use of text talk,  i've taken my curiosity one stage further and spent the last half hour trawling through an online text talk abbreviation dictionary. I can catergorically say it was one of the most horrifying if slightly amusing experiences of my life.

In response to your opening statement Tris, firstly what would Traci think and secondly I have feelings for a MOOS unfortunatley. Which the dictionary reliably informs me stands for "Member Of the Opposite Sex."...... :)

And what on earth is a ROFLCOPTER? It's certainly isn't an ingenious new flying device I thought someone was telling me about. No in fact it stands for "Rolling On The Floor Laughing And Spinning Around." Which unless i've overfed myself on the amber nectar i've never experienced that before in my regular day to day rituals!

But my personal favourite just has to be....NSISR, which stands for "Not Sure If Spelled If Right"

Quite frankly @TEOTD ( "At The End Of The Day" ) none of this is right if you have to start spelling words with numerical characters and reduce famous mottos such as "One For All, All For One" to something that resembles a barcode....14AA41, or be blatantly daft enough replace the 'F' in of with a 'V' and repeat it several times on a social networking site for all and sundry to see.

Rant over, must be off, I'm taking a MOOS out for tea.  ;)
