is anybody getting tired of reading "SHTF". "WTF" "WTH", etc.?

all I'm saying is what Gandhi said to the Jews under Hitler ("achieve a moral victory" over the Nazis by letting them slaughter you). OK, so TPTB (I approve of that acronym, used sparingly) want to wipe you out with HAARP-droughts, pandemics, false-flag nukes, poisoned foods, and if all else fails, foreign troops enforcing martial law, but maintain your morals and egalitarianism - as you are placed on the guillotine or coughing the last of your guts out, be polite. The English language can accommodate all this without resorting to profanity, even in the form of overused acronyms.

No but if I never heard the "word" "'tard" again it would be too soon. Looks like I'm in the wrong place tho.

How do you feel about TEOWAWKI, OP?

Negative.

Journalism is dead, let alone what the ordinary person posts online. They are only mimicking the advertisement tactics they see and hear on a daily basis, many don't know any different.

I read articles online everyday on mainstream web sites with spelling and grammar errors, sometimes in the headlines!

The defenders of the English language are a dying breed and within a decade you shall see Newspeak as the common form of communication.

Good night intellectual conversation, sleep well sweet prince.

Pet peeves- 'BREAKING' & 'MYSTERIOUS', particularly when they're NOT.

Yes if you are writing term or professional papers.

Isn't that up to TPTB? If it happens then SHTF I will need to get my BOB.

stfu

all I can say is that my uncle agrees with me, although some of the nursing staff do not.

I'll bet there were people who loathed the use of contractions when they were new. You're complaining about acronyms, which have been around for about a hundred years.

Acronyms communicate a lot...quickly, so they're very useful to my reading and comprehension skills.

NOPE!

All close groups have their own shorthand.

If you were part of those threads - it means so much more...

I am sick of it. All the kids and the recent generations are too lazy to properly utilize the language. What happened to vernacular being indicative of intelligence? Now everyone writes with acronyms and substitutions that bear little resemblance to the original meanings of the words. Slang, sarcasm and insinuation has mutated words into flimsy forms of their former powerful selves. The phones, texting, the keypads were somewhat to blame, but for the most part it is the laziness of people and too much coddling of the children, allowing their lazy approaches rushed and hurried in their youth, to spill the cup of valuable speech over. I do not weep for the children, they brought it all upon themselves. They deserve every result of their short-cutting ways that are now taking root.

Fuck your federal ass op

If you don't say out loud every word you read, then you don't have to hear them.
Word-tard.

This is the level of our culture these days OP.

I am just tired of Obama's shit.

Oh yeah. I guess most of this is just a texting carryover into the real world.

And people are even too lazy to capitalize words. Abbreviating is what caused the whole Y2K problem. People even use abbreviations on their resumes; and maybe that's why they never hear back, because when I worked in "HR" any resume with abbreviations went directly into the trash.

WTF??

STFU and GTFO

ROTFLMAO
