I am pretty sick and tired of people on 'Clone Wars Adventures' not even making the slightest attempt to write in English. The chat style of speech is really busting my chops.
True, they are young, but that doesn't matter. It is the attitude.
It is not cool for young people to be into English. It reminds them of school too much, and they hate that.
But if they want to communicate with me, they are going to have to do better. I have no problem putting anyone on the ignore list, and I will do it in a flash at this point, and just be done with them forever, who cares? I don't. They can go talk their crap talk with somebody else, I don't need it.
The cute misspellings I have come not to mind too much. Some of it is charming, as it applies to this computer age. They like phonetic spelling.
Granted, there are lots of rules with American English, which is heavily influenced by British, German, Finnish, French, African, and also purely spoken methods of English. It is confusing.
I can see how words in a stupid book can be pretty meaningless, especially when there are cool pop songs with rad lyrics set to music.
Once they realize that a lot of epic poetry was intended to be sung, it will all make sense. A lot of literature is a song, and it is longer and more enjoyable than a trite song, because when you read long texts, you can find your own music.
Reading is hard, though, and it requires full concentration.
Anyway, I know I got to give some of these kids a break, they deserve it. But the ones that don't even try, I don't care about, and they can go ahead and swim with fish of their own level.
