I'm treating all my lovely friends to a treat tonight. Yes, you are getting, two postings! Whoot!!! Why, you may ask, would I feel this burning need to get something off my chest at this late hour? And to you I say, because it's MY blog and I'll do anything I damn well want!
This is more of a thank you to the educational system. I'm so grateful that I was educated before the time of text messaging! I may have no idea why someone would tell me "smh" when they really mean "shaking my head" or why everyone feels the need to tell me that they are currently "rotflmao" instead of telling me that they are rolling on the floor laughing their ass off, but I can actually type out a message to a person using not only correct spelling but using damn fine grammar too! I thought that perhaps I was showing my age, and if you don't know me personally you can best believe I'm not telling you! I receive messages from my friends that leave me going, WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT!
I'm fine with lol. I'm fine with ttyl. Hell, even Tigger started the whole crap with his sign off, "ta-ta for now, ttfn!" Where I have a problem is when I look at a message to the outside world coming from someone that I expect to set the standard for education. Anyone who's been reading my messages knows that it's been snowing around here. So anytime we hear that the white stuff is going to sprinkled over the city, the first thing we parents do is check the local news for school closings. You wait to see if there will be school and if it will be starting on time. So why on earth would a school district ever want to broadcast the start time for their high school students by using the words "hi skul"? Not HS. Not Hi-school. Hi Skul. Yup. That's what the folks decided to use to let the entire viewing area know that our students would be too fucking stupid to read the words HIGH SCHOOL.
I'm known for throwing around a good wtf, especially when I see shit like this. I can even give a good LMAO when I see things that make me go, "that's it! I'm writing about this because this is too damn good!" But these people have fucked around with our school district so badly that I begin to fear that if I turn my diploma over, I'll see that it's printed on the back of a Teletubby placemat! We as a country are doing a piss poor job of educating today's youth. And if the country as a whole is fucked then how the hell could this district embarrass us further by broadcasting that we are putting our children's future in the hands of an idiot that can't tell the difference between an important communication and the latest text to their bbf.
I'm going to make this short and sweet. Listen up all you ass-sucking, nose picking, texting bastards! I'm trusting you to educate my children. Put down the fucking iPhone and pick up a fucking book! Stop talking to people in a language that even Webster can't figure out. (Webster…as in the dictionary people…learn to fucking read.) Unplug the iPod and stop cheating by having all your books downloaded into .m4b form. Learn to actually write a sentence that has a proper subject and predicate. You shouldn't have to have spell check bail your ass out of every report, learn to fucking spell!!!! Come on, get fucking smarter people! We're getting spanked by the globe and becoming a more stupid nation with every text!!
Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm going to kick back and watch some Vicar of Dibley. That Vicar makes me rotflmao! Knim? (Know what I mean?)
