Somehow, typing a paragraph on the computer allows the writer to be infinitely more "creative" with the presentation of the letters and words. Not only painful to read, this degradation of language has lasting effects on the overall literacy rate of the Internet raised generation. Children's ability to write proper sentences - not even reports or essays! - are harmed by their lack of practice in using the English language correctly. We have moved from errors like writing "alot" instead of "a lot," and mixing up our homophones (there, their, they're), to having to remove short-forms like b/c and btw out of formal assignments. Short-forms were created to speed up note-taking - there's a reason why you don't use acronyms in formal writing, unless the full name has been previously established.
The English language consists not only of a vocabulary, but also a grammar - as in a set of rules to be followed. The excessive use of slang, short-forms, and the ridiculous, purposeful misspelling of words will only lead to an irreversible degradation of your own ability to write, or even speak, with any tone of formality; furthermore, you will lose the ability to command any sort of respect through mature communication. So please, make some effort to sound like you know what you're talking about, even if you really don't.
And now back to our regularly planned programming.

The down side is that I have been rejected by yet another scholarship. The most dissapointing thing is that I applied to so frigging many scholarships, only to have them all turn me down.

I taped the Olympics, but I don't really think I'll be rewatching it... it's just too long haha. What a shame.
Anybody want MSN Messenger 8.0 Beta invitations?
[ETA:10.27] I love watching the Canadians at Olympics - especially Canadian hockey. There's so much excitement, and so much pride.
