Feeling in the blogging mood after being away for a few weeks. =)
This blog was originally intended for my Comp class, so I figure I'll continue adding things in relevation with English.
All throughout grade school teachers express the importance of correct grammer, spelling, punctuation, and all those other important concepts that go along with that. While a lot of these subjects might seem rather boring I cannot stress how important they really are. We read, write, and speak everyday of our lives. With it being done so frequently it's only right that we learn the basics concepts!....right?
Nowadays everything is abbreviated (ex. LOL, JK, LMFAO, BRB) and as if thats not enough, new words are being created everyday, with some sounding so bizzarre people actually question whether it is a word or not. (ex. Dougie, Swag, Fresh..seriously people?...what does this mumbo jumbo even mean!?)
I felt a need to blog about this after checking my Facebook. The things some people put as their status's are so confusing; to the point where I'm not sure whether it's English, or a foriegn language made up by some illiterate "new age" people.
Either way, what I'm trying to get across is... reading, writing, and speaking should be continued as it was before; before the corruption of abbreviations or any new fangled words. Before you could make some type of a grunting noise to state a whole sentence, before rappers came out with crazy nonsense words just to rhyme. Basically before everyone was brain washed!
Now.... a random funny to express the importance of capitaliztion!
Capitalization, the difference between= helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
