Nom Nom Nom

I just had an encounter on Twitter that really struck me deeply.


Why should I care what other people think? Ffs, it's only Twitter.

Yet, amazingly, I do care. Really, who would have figured that?

I found that people saying LOLspeak (you know, the captions on LOLcats) was "gross", really sent a surge of anger through me.


How dare these people openly attack me?

Okay, so maybe they weren't attacking me as such, but in my crazy mind they were.

I mean I love LOLspeak, it's creative and cute. It's inventive and, well, it's just damn cute!


However, I wouldn't use LOLspeak all the time! That's about as bad as walking around using slang 100% of the time, or perhaps thee would prefer a more literary and archaic speech, adorned with jewels of wisdom and other such lovely trinkets that one surely must endeavour to achieve, with utmost respect laced with dignity?


See, every kind of take on the English language has it's time and place. Some of the quirks of our language are that it's so pliable and so easily molded into ways to express how we feel, think and even see things.

Fine, I guess I can understand that some people don't like LOLspeak, but do you have to insist that it's "gross"!?!


For all you LOLspeak haters, I leave you with this.
