IF U WRITE LIKE THIS U R A STR8 UP ASSHOLE.

I was speaking with a friend regarding e-mail ettiquette. She was disturbed at the number of highly educated people who write e-mails that are bereft of punctuation.

Something like this:

hey how r u i m fine :) do u want to go out to the bars 2nite and meet sum boyz :) its ladies nite at the Flipper. give me a call or text me :) lol

This tells me three things about the author:

1) She/He is an absolute fucking retard who...
2) Is obviously not smart enough to have a computer or a high school diploma, and...
3) Who should be frog-marched out of her/his dorm room (or off-campus crib) and beaten with reeds (after being placed in a burlap bag).

Where are the capital letters that begin a sentence in 99% of the literate world? What are "boyz"? Why do we want to meet them? What in the name of God is "lol"?

I am going to go and weep for the future...theirs and mine.
