OK, is this Twitter BS? I’m almost 60 years old and none of this bullshit makes any sense. How are people that are used to normal English supposed to make any sense of this crap?

Haha I’m glad you posted that.

I had exactly the same impression. But I didn’t want to say that.

And I thought it was just me.

"This isn't in keeping w the agreement. Since we clearly have some leverage, would be good to flag this for him. I could send a signal via Welch--or did you establish a direct line w him?..."

The part in bold implies blackmail, but it is too weak and vague to mean much. It is a stretch.

feel the same. I don;t use twitter.

I understand the confusion, but this is pretty common communication for people who use their phones non-stop to communicate. They write like they text message. I would be willing to bet that their text messages were much worse than the emails we have seen. It is not much different than an email chain like this one, but people feel like they have more privacy via text messages.

Here’s the original:

It doesn’t say what kind of “leverage” and “agreement” they’re talking about, but we can imagine.

I know that Bernie wound up with a $600K vacation home, and then he hit the campaign trail for Clinton.

Welcome to my world. It sometimes seems that this country no longer speaks the language I learned as a child. At least not in typewritten form.

I struggle to decode half of the things I see posted today.

[SpaceBar]

I was thinking pretty much the same thing. What did I just read?

Well, that’s at least three of us.................Only I’m 71 and thought I understood English fairly well.

just because you think your age right now does not give you a excuse in committing yourself to living the life you deserve

I'm 60 as well, but I've been doing computer forensics since 1981. This stuff is served on a silver platter. You do have to adjust to the terse nature of texting and e-mails tailored to a cellphone.

I'm with you! Turning 60 in May of 2017 and I can't wait to retire from teaching. Wanna feel every single second of your age? Try teaching social studies (history, government, etc) today in the public schools.
