    Hamfisted symbolism is what gets to me

    You know, the people who brought us the likes of Micro$oft or calling Tony Blair "Bliar"

    It's the written equivalent of those t-shirts where the stars on the American flag are swastikas or whatever

    Corpspeak is painful but yes we are afraid to show that it is real

    I used to be a civil servant and you can go really far in life if you can stretch out a single point into three paragraphs and invent terms like "efficiency-focused utilitisation of core developments"

    Fake swearing. I hang out with a bunch of mormons (being one myself) and they say things like fudge and frick. Also, in lue of flipping me off, they will put there three middle fingers and tell me to "read between the lines." HOW IS THAT ANY FUCKING DIFFERENT FROM JUST FLIPPING ME OFF?! IT'S A HAND SIGNAL THAT MEANS "FUCK YOU." IT DOESN'T MAKE BABY JESUS CRY ANY LESS WITH THREE FINGERS! JUST FUCKING SWEAR OR DON'T!

    'wat'

    I understand the idea of internet slang and "textspeak", but really? You're dropping the H to form a word that no longer phonetically sounds the way you are intending it to. I have less of a problem with 'wut' than 'wat'. Just type the 'h', jerkasses.

    well, it balances out all the New Englanders who drop R's or sometimes entire syllables all the damn time

    for example, Worcester is pronounced Woostah

    And it's our region.

    It's a Washingtonian accent that says "warshington"

    you're allowed to call your own city/area whatever you say it it's called. How else explain Houston street in NYC?
