People using initials all the time because they can't be arsed to write out the whole word.

 

I read some other forums & you get people listing films, albums & songs by initials so you have to spend 20 minutes trying to work out what they're on about.

 

Pain in the arse.

 

They did it that on one of the music threads on here.

 

Turns out GFW was a a hell of an album and UJL defined its genre

People who use words in e-mails or articles that they clearly either no idea what they mean or use them in the wrong context simply for purposes of vanity.

 

I just read an e-mail on a site dedicated to the unmentionable that described bearing witness to the rise in standard of the Asian game as 'inexorable'. It's epidemic among those with a WordPress page who fancy themselves as a journalist, often at the expense of cadence, structure and conciseness. Often it's counter-productive because the argument itself is undermined by how jarring something reads.

 

A piece can still be challenging, thoughtful and well-written even if you're keeping it simple with regard to language. It feels like this is something more people need to realise.

On the opposite side of that, when I can manage to get a big estate car or a van into a space no problem but some dimwit in something tiny can't seem to manage it.

 

 

 

These days I just drive around day to day in whatever I can look after easily or that I pick up cheap as I have the classics as something nice to take out occasionally for a fun drive out, but I always used to get pissed off when I did run nice stuff, or if I was in something I had for sale. I'd go into a massive car park and deliberately park as far away from the other cars as possible even if it was a massively long walk to the shop or whatever. Without fail I'd come outside and some fucker was parked inches away from me.

Just opened one of them video on twitter where it starts normal then all of a sudden some birds getting nailed and screaming the fucking place down. It was really loud. Best of all, this has just happened on a packed train that I have only just got on and have half an hour left. To make it even better the calibration on my screen is a bit out so it took me about 4 seconds to turn the sound down. I laughed nervously and just said my mates just stitched me up sorry and not one cunt found it funny. Now they all think I'm Alan Sex and if this cunt near me doesn't blow his nose and stop sniffing I'm gonna start crying.

Sometimes, when I want to use a word that's on the fringes of my vocabulary, I'll open a new tab and check its definition. If it means what I want to say, I'll use it; if not, I'll use a different word.

 

It's not difficult, because when people are writing this stuff, they're already on the Internet.

 

Lazy fuckers.

Should have just whipped your old chap out and gone for broke.

 

If the cunts are going to judge anyway, give them something to think about. Sniffy won't be so clever with a blob of manfat hanging off the end of his nose.

Could have have been a fella getting nailed so small blessings.
