Illiterate Youths ("Utes")???
ok,,, i'm pretty accomodating when it comes to typos, grammar, allowing for the language barrier, (bravo to those that try, never apologize for trying), etc., BUT, lately there seems to be a monumental increase in threads/posts that are completely unintelligible/unreadable & most if not all are from 20 somethings & under,,, i mean i can't even get thru a single sentence without wondering if our entire school system even teaches the alphabet, let alone reading comprehension,,, this brought on a funny thought that occurred to me,,, the courtroom scene in "My Cousin Vinny" where Uncle Vinny is defending "the utes in question..."

How do you get mud into the tire?
It's a bit unfortunate but funny to me. You can expect a majority of teenagers or who those share similar maturity to go overboard with stuff like "lol" "u" and so on. On occasion, I might even use a lol or wtf, but generally, and most especially when engaged in somewhat serious conversation, I'm totally with you. My opinions of those who write such messy paragraphs and expect to be taken seriously; well I don't want to offend so i'll shut up :)
Illiterate Youths ("Utes")???
And with full key boards, auto-complete, word substitution and predictive text, the old texting shorts are obsolete. The utes are holding on to a bygone practice. Ironic.
