What’s Wrong with My Age?
Weeeeeee. Okay, I am not referring to my age (16) but to the other people of my age.
Last March 19, 2008, I posted a news in this blog regarding the release of the 2008 DOST SEI Undergraduate Scholarship results. To date, I have 45 comments for the post; the most in a post I had in this blog.
I think there is something wrong with them! Some of they’re comments are pissing me off. Why?
- They love using shortcuts; even in the Internet. I can accept these shortcuts if it were a text message; but not for a comment most-probably made using a computer with a QWERTY keyboard! (comment #s 3, 10, 17, 20, 22, 26, 28, 30, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39 and 44)
- They don’t follow the use proper of caps. Some of them wrote their comments in plain lower-caps while some alternated it like tHiS oNe. Amf! (comment # 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44 and 45 OR all comments except 1, 2 and 41!)
- They don’t put a single space after a punctuation. Yes,like this one.Annoying,right? (comment # 12, 16, 19, 35, 37, 38)
- They ask me to send them the results thru their e-mail, mobile phones. It’s acceptable as long as they request it in a nice way.
Another thing, I don’t even own a mobile phone to notify them. - One even asked me to send his scholarship award to their doorstep. Waaaaa, I’m not DOST okay!
Now, I’m planning to recompile the results in an excel file and send it to all of them in bulk.
What’s wrong with them? I think they’re uber-influenced by text messaging! Bad!
