Just reading the Guardian website, as we pinko-liberal types do.
Vaguely-interesting piece on perceived visual cues in txt-speak.
Made the mistake of reading the comments btl. Mistake. At least it was better than the comments under the article about the WI banning a woman from breastfeeding. Then I read this comment. I apologise for the swear word. It's biological rather than blasphemous, and fairly mild really.

Dweeb44 begs many questions. In which contexts is the expression "social networking" correctly capitalized? Likewise for Instagram. But most of all - in what universe does Dweeb44 think commenting on a forum below a Guardian article is not social media? (Or, if you prefer, Social Media). Is this a form of Magrittesque surrealism? Is Dweeb44 an abstract philosophical performance artist? Or is Dweeb44 merely someone whose judgementalism is exceeded only by their self-righteousness and lack of self-awareness?
Here's a clue. Dweeb44 is commenting on a Guardian article.
How would e.e. cummings have texted?
ReplyDeleteSocial Networking is the name of the toilet. Obviously. Proper noun.
