Misused/Abused Lingo

I hate the "12-Year-Old-AOLer" language. I did however, find an online translator:

Translator

Grammer and capitalization (I apolgize for my attrocious spelling, I'm falling asleep on my feet

) always bug me. Is it so difficult to hit the "shift" key?

I honestly can't even understand anything of the "internet language". Who made that up anyways?

Geeks who were too lazy to type out whole words...I donno.

I remember listening to the radio and they had a list of words they wanted to get rid of for the new year. One was "blog" (which I don't mind using now, although I used to never use it) and another one was "body wash, otherwise known as soap" (which I found witty

).

I do think that "body wash" is overused.

And let's get rid of "accountibility", "corruption", "culture of entitlement", "attack ad", and "third option" while we're at it.

I like body wash. If I say, "buy me some soap, please", odds are they'll come back w/ the bar stuff. Ewwww.

One of my favorite "idiot phrases" is, "I thought to myself". Well, duh?

I use shower gel. It is not soap.

Sammie uses body wash. That isn't shower gel or soap.

I absolutely hate people on MSN who have changed all the letters to custom smilies- I can't read a thing they type!

My parents were in Pittsburgh a few months ago, a couple guys had on t-shirts that read: If you ain't a Steelers fan, you ain't *beep*". Dad was like, you know you guys are calling yourselves *beep*, right? They didn't have a clue.

My most hated mis-quote concerns music:

In countless TV shows, movies, talk-radio, cartoons, and even casual conversation I keep hearing that "music has charms to soothe the savage beast."

WRONG!!!!!

The proper quote is "Music hath charms to soothe the savage BREAST."

It refers to the "savage heart" of men, not any kind of animal.

That, and Bush's "nukuler". He's the leader of the free world, for crying out loud! Why can't someone get him to prcactice 5 times a day saying "noo-klee-er".
