Ok, so, here is my first "unofficial" post! Yay! I like to think of myself as a somewhat tech-savvy guy. I know what the iPhone is and I know what Facebook is. Hell, I even know what the Internet does. But what the hell are people talking about when they say, "So and So is only 5 days?" I see this crap in the status bar on Facebook all the time. Can someone please tell me what this means?! I'm partially hoping that it's simply horrifically bad grammar?
Well whatever. I don't really care what little Mary-Ann and Lexus and Mercedes are up to. I just wish people could use proper grammar. I understand that English is a living language but I will be damned if I my younger cousins start emailing me saying things like LOL and BRB and all that texting crap.
On a brighter note, I finished 60% of my finals. I now have another seven days until my last exam. Normally I would be pretty pissed but I have got to clean up my apartment so this gives me the excuse that I have been looking for. On an even brighter note, I'm going home in eight days. I can't wait to have In-N-Out, Mandarin Gourmet, Su-Hong's, Ming's, Cicero's and Kikusushi again. Oh yea, and I can't wait to see my family too... Honest.

Interesting post... I'm with you in disliking bad grammar. Netspeak, as its often referred to, will not revolutionize our language, in my opinion, and should be kept away from academic settings. I'm not a big fan of people that can't seem to get their grammar correct... it doesn't bode well for their education, wherever they [may not have] received it.
I've experienced the same feeling about this kind of grammar. It;s really funny to think about how people can use different terms to refer to sometinh they want to say. It's like "slang" using it in offocial or formall setting. well good luck in you finals and wish you a happy holidays with your family.
