Just scrolling through that quickly. Is it too much to ask for her to write in proper sentences? That is such a bastardized version of the English language that I’m amazed that anyone listens to what she says. Nevermind...I’ve forgotten what kind of people that I’m talking about.

People who write like that are either: ignorant (i.e. they don’t know how to construct a proper English sentence); trying to be “clever”; or, just plain lazy. Regardless, the lack of proper punctuation makes their missives much harder to read. I’ve found that it’s usually not worth the effort.

Also, I’ve suspect that most people who don’t capitalize the “vertical pronoun” are narcissists, who hope we won’t notice because they’re using lower-case.

I’m no psychologist, but I recall reading that sentence structure like that is the sign of a disturbed mind—lack of punctuation, incomplete sentences, incoherent rhetoric.

I think the Imus situation has got her spooked, and I think Barbara W has told her to STFU! She was hired to give the lesbian butch perspective on cooking, cleaning, and soap operas, not to have her own personal soap box to shriek her stilted political views.

It's called "lesbonics", sorta like ebonics but different.
