Dis, Dat and De Other... **Frankenstein

My Bride and I had a rather lengthy and somewhat disturbing conversation last evening. We realize how how badly she had been cheated. I, on the one hand, got to grow up with great TV shows like, Star Trek (the original), The Lucy Show and The Night Gallery. She was stuck with Alf, The Facts Of Life and Growing Pains. That's pathetic. I grew up watching Johnny Carson and she was left with Jay Leno. I feel as though I've taken the best for myself but it wasn't by choice. It's just the way things happened. Times change and so do people. It isn't always for the best.

The point of this post is to talk a bit about the written language. Does anyone recall the date when 'j/k' came to mean 'joking'? How did 'ppl' ever get to mean 'people'? Did some cosmic event happen that I'm not aware of? It's obvious that most of us haven't been affected. Dis? What is that exactly? Dat? For God's sake! It's only one more lousy letter until you have an actual word! The same holds true for all of the numbers and other cutesy things. Happy birthday 2 u. Call me b4 you leave. Why can so many not say or even write the letters 'er' at the end of a word now? Did everyone move to Boston or New York? What is the deal here? It appears to me that in this day and time, all civility has died. There is no form and no grace. The train is leaving the station. "All aboard!"

Maybe you'll see all of this as venting and that's okay but the fact remains that there are so many posts and comments which are probably well worth reading and yet I skip right by them. Why? You know why. It's because they aren't written in English. I THINK THAT SOME OF YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME. iF yOu FeEl OtHeRwIsE, yOu CaN sAy So.

Date: 9/8/2002 4:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 820    I agree with you entirely, Frankenstein. This has been annoying the HECK out of me for a long time.  
Date: 9/8/2002 4:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 49498    Yeah well I had to grow up to Family Matters! With steve erkle. oh man! Saved by the bell, harry and the hendersons, full house all that stuff.  
Date: 9/8/2002 4:56:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 47699    M.M., you have my deepest sympathies. "And now...herrrrrrrrrrrre's Johnny!" I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to rub it in. Thanks, Red. Nicole, just know that you aren't alone here.  
Date: 9/8/2002 6:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 17014    Hey I love the 80s shows.....:p All you mentioned above with the speech issue is due to this new generation of kids on the internet creating their own unique shorthand. Yeah I do agree that trying to read some of this garb thrown out as the English language is downright ridiculous too, I think kids have forgotten how to really communicate anymore. It makes you wonder how they even pass English in school.....  
Date: 9/8/2002 6:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 17014    That's the word for this garbage called English going around now-- Annoying as all.  
Date: 9/8/2002 6:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 20956    *hands on hips* Hey i liked Alf!! LOL!! That was a crazy show!! :)  
Date: 9/8/2002 7:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 19173    I agree with you some people are just to lazy to write out the full words, but it has absolutely nothing to do with New York and Boston. It's teenagers all over the country that talk like that now. It's not a geographical issue. It's a younger person issue. I did like some of the 80's sitcoms, compared to some of the shows on now they were great. I did like 70's sitcoms much better than the ones from the 80's though.
