love is dead

You have GOT to be kidding me.

mood: pissed off
I like to think you guys look forward to my open letters. Generally I think I'm pretty good at writing the scathing venom.

However, this does not merit an open letter. This merits an open post-it.


To Whom It May concern,

You're not funny.

Love,

Scarlett

PS: Blondes aren't the only ones who can't type and utilize lol-speak.

PPS: No, I'm not actually blonde nor am I upset that I've been "left out". 

Ass.

Aww...that makes me sad, even if my blonde comes out of a bottle. Not that I'm proclaiming I can type but I am proudly a member of the 'I don't care how you spell things on the internet, when you e-mail me, you spell the whole word out' camp. Granted, the header on our stationary is quite long. Or it would be if this existed anywhere but my head and there were more members than just me.

I'm with you. I'm guilty of a few NetSlang-isms, but for the most part I really don't like it and as an English Major I feel it's proof of how far we've fallen. Grammatically speaking, that is.

But then you have people like my kid brother, who literally has no writing skills whatsoever and misspells "cat"*, so what're you gonna do?




















*(generally he spells it kat, occasionally he adds an extra "t", not sure why)

10 years ago, I worked at a video game/software store. I worked there during the launch of Windows 98, and in the lead-up, I was told some stories by my supervisor, who had worked there during the Windows 95 launch and aftermath. One such story was that, because 95's GUI was so different from 3.1, and there were so many fundamental changes to how the system worked, people were baffled by obvious things.

Such as the warning boxes that would pop up and instruct people to hit any key to continue. Microsoft apparently got flooded with calls asking the location of the ANY key.

In response, they really, honestly made keyboards with an ANY key.

I feel, upon seeing that product/joke, life has come full circle. In the sense of an Ouroubouros.

You know, I don't think I would have been as pissed had it been less... I don't know. Like, for example, if the "Space" key had just said "The Big Key" instead of "The Big 'I need some space'" key, it just so obviously directed at flighty insipid women.

I'm all for the gag keyboards that say things like "Oh Shit" instead of "delete".

I don't get the space key joke. I mean, I get it, but I don't get it. The keyboard's concept is to be for the stereotypical Paris Hilton ditzy blonde types. But the "I need some space" joke doesn't fit. That's just a broad shot at women in general. It doesn't fit.

I'm not exactly a blonde (was a blonde child, now have light brown to dark blonde hair) but even I'm offended by that keyboard.
