This is inappropriate for this time and place - this is a Friday post if ever I saw one.

Oh, it is Friday?

Never mind. Proceed.

So I'm a spelling freak, flame away.

Me, too, Intimidator. "Series," "prolly," "all your [blank] are belong to us," and similar oft-used items seem to be either inside jokes that have taken on a life of their own, or Web-speak, or both. I overlook most of it, since there's nothing I can do about it. Language is an ever-evolving thing, after all. For example, correct use of adverbs (most words ending with 'ly') seems to be a dying form here in the U.S. I haven't got a clue why.

Also, I won't even begin to vent about how people need to CAPITALIZE EVERY WORD when they try to emphasize something.

BWAHAHAHAHA! I call that "Sungirl HTML."

These are termed "memes." Wait a minute, "meme" is a meme, isn't it? A meme is a terrible thing to waste.

Sorry.

What a waste it is to lose one's meme?

It seems as though there are people actively degrading the english language.

Yes, that is true, especially those who don't capitalize "English".

Frankly there are more important things to be worrying about right now...

Such as when are the Boston Red Sox going to win the World Serious?
