Joy's Opinion On: AIM speak

I'm sorry to pretty much everyone who visits my blog, and I'm not meaning to offend (though I probably will anyway), but AIM speak annoys me sometimes. Yes, I'll admit that at times I'll use it, or I won't use proper grammer and capitilization, but how would you like it if I wrote stuff in this manner:

so ne way, i tottally g2g, so ill ttyl, cuz my mom told me 2 make a cake 4 2morrow. my gma is coming @2. lol austin just imed me and.......blah blah blah

Ok, I'll be honest with you, I'm not so much annoyed with the "lol" thing, especially when used in AIM conversations, but when someone has a blog (or a personal website) and they use AIM SPEAK ON IT!!

But back to that AIM speak sentance up there: if any one who was new to the English language read my blog, all they'd see would be numbers and symbols, and words that didn't make sense.


I mean, Hello? Most of us passed 3rd grade for a reason.
