You think that's bad? I once typed "two" instead of "2" and I missed the entire 9th grade.

You hate when you make the bus because you were able to text so quickly, but everyone makes fun of you because you're gay and scrawny and have no friends, and you begin to contemplate suicide, and someone stops you saying your life will get better, but it doesn't, and you feel like an idiot for believing that person, so you take your gun and start shooting all the popular kids at school because they symbolize everything you don't have, and that only makes you feel worse...

...But then you find five dollars!

I hate it when I'm texting in class, and everyone stares at me, because I actually laughed out loud, instead of just silently texting "LOL"

Window seat or aisle seat
Right column or left.
So that's like 12 rows, 2 columns, and then two seats in each to choose from!
Unless of course you're skinny, then it's three per seat and so Rebecca either has 48 or 72 choices of seats. Holy goodness. The length of THAT song...

Approximately 4 seconds to say two lines describing 1 condition (1 per seat), so if it's 2 seconds per condition and there are 3 conditions times 48 choices for two people/seat or 72 choices for 3 people/seat..
It would take an additional 4 minutes and 48 seconds for 2 people per seat and 7 minutes and 12 seconds for 3 people per seat.

Unless you mean that seating two or three to a seat is an additional option in the song, in which case may God have mercy on our souls.

FIRST, you have to find the 'y' THEN you have to find the 'o' THEN you have to find the 'u'. IT'S SO MUCH WORK.

Yes, I know I used the word 'you' three times in that sentence.

Clementiness avatar Clementines Yeah You Are +9Reply

or when someone's texting you asking if you want to hang out while you're getting chased & you need to answer back to the person immediately, it's perfect to just type "srry" then the full word

@Shugah However, it is not easier to type "then" in place of "than." Sorry.

my bad, I forgot to type the period as well, or to capitalize the first letter

OP missed the bus, amirite?

I've got one class with a friend. All my other friends are in different faculties, so we don't get to see each other every week, let alone every day.

I don't get it...

@Mr_Superfluous I don't get it...

Typing "you" when you're in a hurry is risky because first you have to find the y, then the o, and then the u. Just saying "u" saves an incredible amount of time, it's only 1 letter instead of 3!

Bardagis avatar Bardagi Yeah You Are +34Reply
@friedcheesecake27 that's dumb... if you're waiting for the bus then pay attention!!!!!!!

If you seriously don't get it, the post is mocking people who say they type in hard-to-read shorthand because it saves time. Like, they might miss the bus if they use those two extra letters.

Coles avatar Cole Yeah You Are +62Reply
@AppAwesome But most of the time it's like 40% shortened... Which lowers texting time by ~40%

I read a study that showed that it is actually proven that it is harder to read (as the recipeint) a shorthand text accurately. Readers were more likely to misunderstand and make mistakes than if the message had been fully written out.

Unfortunately I have no idea where that article came from so that loses a little credibility :)

Wow, you're really retarded, not everyone who catches the bus is a young person ono smilie I see heaps of all age people and old people waiting for buses too. Also, not everyone has parents to teach them how to drive and then buy them a car, idiot. Some high schools don't have driving school or whatever it is.

@Boufaka I hate it when you stupid Americans are too lazy to properly type in "favourite". I mean, it's not like you will...

I'm Canadian, so I spell "favourite" like that (and "colour" and "behaviour" and so on), but that doesn't make American spelling wrong. It's just different (like how we say "zed" and they say "zee" for the letter "z").

@Zedbra is a weird way to call the animal... I'm glad I'm not Canadian.

It's not pronounced "zedbra" because it's spelled "zebra," with a ze sound. Zed is the name of the letter, not the sound it makes.

The American way is not wrong in America. But truly, words like "favourite" and "neighbour" are actually properly spelled with the "u".

That's what I said. I said, "... but that doesn't make American spelling wrong. It's just different..."

They're properly spelled that way, depending on what language you use.

@twisted_memories So?

So Americans should learn the proper way of spelling things.

Boufakas avatar Boufaka Yeah You Are -3Reply
@twisted_memories It IS proper. It's proper American spelling.

The fact that it is only proper to one country doesn't actually make it proper.

Boufakas avatar Boufaka Yeah You Are +3Reply
@Boufaka The fact that it is only proper to one country doesn't actually make it proper.

It's not that it's popular, it's the correct way of spelling it in that country. It's like how there are so many different dialects of Cree. Just because they spell a word differently, doesn't mean it's not still proper Cree. Languages are different and they evolve. That doesn't mean it's wrong or improper. Consider it a different dialect of English.
