Good old Bebo...
I've always been a bit "skeptical" of Bebo. Like a very poor man's version of Myspace, and thats saying something. Still, I've got too much time on my hands, so I have registered an account there. Needless to say, it was a bit of a rofl, and I cant help but notice how many people shunned syntax , capitalisation and symantics. I've rummaged through a few profiles to give you the idea:
"hey gorgeous, u sur its al ok 2 stay at urs on fri? n also, wt u doin sat eve? its ma m8s bday meal, n as ur ma luva, ur welcome 2 come!
so let me no wot ur doin hun, hope uve had a gd day! oxoxoxo"
"rite thn u can have ur litle 22 i will have my m82a1 barret 50 cal"
"easy boi what u been up to not seen u in a while found ur page on some buff birds one what goin on there. seen phillip lately or not haha. write bk u wanker."
Shakespeare this aint, and its been pretty hilarious looking at the profiles, and what I've quoted above pretty much applies itself to every person. Even the people I would consider of high academic ability seem to have theirs in a non-standard English way. Its not that I hate these people, and in fact a lot of them I really like, but this whole kind of "Me too" language really is pissing me off.
Maybe its just me being bitter, but really, it doesn't take more than a second to hit "Comma", and even though its a small difference, at least it makes it readible for everybody else.
_______________________________________________________________
On a much brighter note, I've just got my Xbox 360 back. Fairly good, exept I need to get myself a new power cable as well as a new Live account, although I'm pretty sure I can get these in time.
I'm fairly looking forward to playing as The core four once again. I should have BF2 and Advanced Warfighter as well, and its going to interesting to try an recreate the Summer of '05 again. The upcoming Lan should be a blast as well; We're only going to be playing Halo 2 there.
I will also be changing my gamertag from FlynchLynch to Jazzfish, in case any of the Lan group should be reading this.
Bye all

I agree with you totally Joe. It's not exactly hard to try and type properly, and it does make it easier - I didn't understand any of those quotes you put up there!
The even more worrying thing is that people try or might try to write like that in an exam which would really lower their marks.
