You hate it when you miss the bus because you took the time to write "You" instead of "u", amirite?
by Anonymous13 years ago
I don't get it...
by Anonymous13 years ago
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!

that's dumb... if you're waiting for the bus then pay attention!!!!!!!
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Ah ok I get it now, thanks.
by Anonymous13 years ago
But most of the time it's like 40% shortened... Which lowers texting time by ~40%
by Anonymous13 years ago
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 :)

No I don take the bus! Nawt when I have such kool friends to give me a ride
by Anonymous13 years ago
I thought it was because the bus had too many seats to choose from.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Kickin' in the front seat or row two window seat on the left side or row three window seat on the left side or row four window seat on the left side or row five window seat on the left side or row six window seat on the left side or row...
by Anonymous13 years ago
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...
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.

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"
by Anonymous13 years ago
I hate it when I'm texting my mom and I write "fuck u u sack of shit" instead of "I love you."

And that, my friend, is what we call a Freudian slip.

i type out "you," making me look more intelligent -> i miss the bus -> i don't have to go to school. EVERYBODY WINS.

Haha, the bus. You cute little underclassman, you.
by Anonymous13 years ago
Wow, you're really retarded, not everyone who catches the bus is a young person 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.
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.

by Anonymous13 years ago
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!

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
by Anonymous13 years ago
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

Why are you even texting in the morning?
by Anonymous13 years ago
Because that's what people do when they have friends....
by Anonymous13 years ago
You text each other before school? Even though you're going to see them in like 5 minutes?
by Anonymous13 years ago
You don't always see your friends in five minutes. I don't see some of my friends until lunch.
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.
by Anonymous13 years ago
My bus ride was almost two hours long in the morning... Five minutes would have been awesome.
by Anonymous13 years ago
WHat, really? I'm sorry if that happened to you but usually, it's worth th time to just type out "you". It's only 2 extra letters.

I hate it when you stupid Americans are too lazy to properly type in "favourite". I mean, it's not like you will miss the bus or anything.
...nevermind.

wtf are you doing on amirite dobby!! they said you were dead!
by Anonymous13 years ago
Don't question it! Just enjoy the fact that he's back.
by Anonymous13 years ago
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").
by Anonymous13 years ago
Zedbra is a weird way to call the animal... I'm glad I'm not Canadian.
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.
by Anonymous13 years ago
I know, I was being obnoxious.

Haha ok, this was the second zebra comment so I was like wtf?
by Anonymous13 years ago

by Anonymous13 years ago
The American way is not wrong in America. But truly, words like "favourite" and "neighbour" are actually properly spelled with the "u".
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.
by Anonymous13 years ago
It's wrong in pretty much everywhere but America.
by Anonymous13 years ago
So?
by Anonymous13 years ago
So Americans should learn the proper way of spelling things.
by Anonymous13 years ago
It IS proper. It's proper American spelling.
by Anonymous13 years ago
The fact that it is only proper to one country doesn't actually make it proper.
by Anonymous13 years ago
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.
