First Rant of the Year

Hey, I never professed to stop ranting as a resolution so here’s the first of the year – During my regularly scheduled television viewing the other day I was listening to an entertainment news woman blather on about all the upcoming tv and movie awards shows that we are being inundated with right now.  She was talking about how many “noms” each movie star had.  After I swore a few times in my head about how ridiculous she sounded, it occurred to me that this whole "talking like I’m texting" is getting way outta hand.  Even people who are supposed to be smart are using this crap!  Really, the word “nom” to me is defined as the sound an old man with no teeth makes while he is eating – get it: nom, nom, nom?  One of my top ten stupid words that people use has to be vacay (short for vacation for those people who don’t know).  Is it getting too hard or taking too much of our time for us to enunciate our words?  Are we so lazy that we have to Cole’s notes our speech?  Don’t even get me started on lol and wft.  People, if it comes up spelled wrong on spell check it probably isn’t a word!  Someone also needs to talk to the dufas’s at the Webster’s Dictionary offices because if you all are starting to put this stupid slang in your big book of words I’m not buying.  At the end of the day all we have is words to remind us of our histories.  Why mess that up with shit that just doesn't make sense?  People thirty years from now are going to need Webster's Book of Slang just to decipher what it is that we are writing about.  Do we really want to be known as the people who were to lazy to use whole words?
