Things I've noticed in a forum I frequent. I've posted my pet peeves here before, so excuse the duplicated idea.
1) ........................ - Ellipses include three periods and no more. Get your finger off the key already.
2) I had more that I needed. - It's than! It's THAN!
3) waa laa! - [sigh]
4) "dealio" - The word is "deal." Why make it longer?
5) get em' - The correct abbreviation is 'em. I wonder what word is she trying to shorten.
6) !!!!! - Why would someone need that many exclamation points????
7) :) :) :) :) - Overkill. We get that you're happy. Or psychotic.
8) "envie" - It's not cute to shorten envelope. It sounds dumb and I cringe when I read it.
/end rant
Of course, you guys know I'm not talking about you, right? You, my friends, are perfect in every way....................!!!!!
