AHhh, I enjoy immensly not going to schoool. We had a Richard day, today. None of us went to school or work...
I was talking to Rob today, and as there became a lull in the conversation, we took to playing with emoticons. It became apparent that soon we wont even need to use words to have a conversation on msn. We can simply rely on the emoticons. I no longer have to type in ' fuck you', I can now just use my smilie thats giving the middle finger. Now you may think, 'where the hell is she getting this from? Crazy nut!" and to you I reply, I resent being called a Crazy nut, the term is legally insane. and Think about what MSN has done to the english language. "LOL, R U goin N E where 2nite?" the short form is going to take over. we no longer have the need for language!
It kinda reminds me of hieroglyphic's. ( You know, they wrote on the walls of tombs with pictures.)
See now, we as a society are either regressing, or the Egyptians we're incredibly advanced.
" Hmm, I think we need a word for that...NAH, we can use a picture!"
Now im not saying that its exactly like hieroglyphic's, because in hieroglyphic's there's a symbol for each letter of the alphabit. The emoticons erases the need for individual letters because we can express ourselves with pictures of emotions, and actions. We could very well tell a whole story without typing real words at all!
I'm not sure wheater this is a good thing or not, considering that I hate it when people use the short form when typing.
