"L33T" Speak Invades Schools
Masem writes "NYTimes reports on how common chat room/IM shortcuts (such as 'u' for you, 'r' for are, etc) are creeping into the classroom and homework assignments from those teenage kids that spend a significant amount of time in chat programs. This is giving the teachers headaches in trying to grade the assignments, much less understand them because of the techno-generation gap, and to try to prevent further abuse of the language, have begun penalizing students for using the net slang. Students sometimes don't even realize they use the chat room shorthand until it's pointed out to them, because that method of chatting has become second nature to them."
war monger bush? hello!!!! did we attack first or did somebody elso blow up three of our buildings and kill thousands of civilians?!?! oh and about saddam.... that asshole uses poison gas on his own people and invades his goddamn neighbors. not to mention the fact that he pays terrorists and will definitely support more terrorist activity in the future. oh man, when that happens i hope it is your ass who gets killed.
eh?
Ahem Saudi Arabia, ahem.
If we're going to stop state sponsorship of terrorism, we're attacking the wrong oil dictatorship. Face the truth: our administration can't deal with the glare of public opinion unless they have someone to bomb. Today it's Iraq.
There should be a moratorium on the use of the apostrophe.

Because it's true. Mod me down all you want, I've got assloads of karma and I'm sick of all the post-11/9/2001 hand-wringing.
I'm sure you'd love to ban me. Why? Because I happen to think that America is *not* the greatest country in the world? Because I think you're all ignorant trollfuckers who ought to be destroyed before you destroy everyone else?
Answer me, if you think you can justify your country's actions in the middle east over the past 20 years. If all you're going to do is whinge because no-one likes you, don't bother...
