  • You do realize that text speak was invented (sorta) by the generation old enough to be your teen mom (people used SMS texting all throughout the nineties), don't you? Plus, text speak is based on leet speak, which is from the eighties (message boards/newsgroups), and shorthand, which is itself, well, ancient! Even people my age (20s) used "text speak" (we called it chat speak) on MSN and in IRC chat rooms when we were kids in the late nineties - early 2000s. We probably understand it better than you do, but we've moved on, and so should you.

    There are internet memes older than you are. Take it in. Be cognizant of that fact. Puts things in perspective doesn't it? I was in the same state of shock when I found out my dad had been using the internet since the early eighties, years before I was born. But don't feel bad, teenagers think they invent EVERYTHING.

    But congrats on the straight-As

    • "There are internet memes older than you are."

      Love this. Fucking Millennials seem to think they invented the internet. Wake up children, the old fuckers that "just don't get it" built the fucking thing. I was there when the web (hint: the "web" and the internet are not synonyms) as you know it went up, before that it was even older fuckers that built that.

      And sure, congrats on the straight A's, that and $4 will get you a cup of coffee.

        • I guess some people dealt with that problem. We had a huge pipe to the internet where I worked and cable internet in the early 90's. I've never really known what sort of pain dialup users went through. Was it bad?

          • You work in entertainment and get mad at your customers. But you can't take your anger out on them so you vent your frustration by being a rude bully to random strangers online.
