People who deliberately mangle the English language because they think it's cute or cool to do so....

In order to operate an electronic device - a computer, phone, Ipad, whatever - you need a certain level of literacy and articulation.

But why, oh why, do people feel the need, once they've logged on to the net, to become snivelling monosyllabic ****tards?

Wut? U jus cRaZee! U r jus hella nutz!

There are few things in life that irk me more than this deliberate, calculated bastardization of our language.

I can't help it, I am the same way.

Us women want to get to the point, but we want to share the story of getting to the point first.

We don't mean to drive you crazy.

To quote Sgt. Joe Friday of Dragnet fame, "Just the facts, Maam" is all we really want.

(The interesting thing is that even though that quote is attributed to his character he never actually said it).

This is why tomboys are fun. They understand guyspeak, and how to speak it. They're much easier to deal with than the typical girly-girl.

You know what I hate?

People who Triple post

About something they could have put into a single post.

So that put you in a place where you.....never mind!

What about people when they are not doing what they are saying, or when they don't do what they are paid to do, I dislike that a lot.

That's odd because I always see ones about "The ANZACs".

But taking into account there were more than three times as many Australians as Kiwis there it's not really surprising that you see more Australians. I've never seen or heard anyone belittle the part played by New Zealand in this battle or any subsequent actions.

If anyone has a legitimate *****, it would have to be the French, who had over 27,000 men there, and I must say they do rarely get a mention.
