Keep Internet Memes On The Internet
There's been either a growing trend, or an existing trend I'm finally catching onto, where people use internet-speak in real life conversations. Might as well play the sounds of nails on a chalkboard as far as I'm concerned. A sure sign that I'm getting old.
I remember the time my parents tried to use the Wayne's World slang, "NOT!". I still cringe. I have the same reaction to hearing people say they did something "for the lulz", or "such and such was full of fail." A perfect example would be the guy with purple hair towards the end of this amusing video blog by DavidJr.com.
Now I'm no scholar, I have my own problems with proper speech, but my God does this not bother anyone else?
Are you one of the people who talks this way? I certainly hope you keep it between friends because you genuinely sound like a moron. What's next? Should we just troll around 4chan and start picking up new lame terms to break out in normal conversation.
Internet memes can stay right there on the internet please.
