Ikna 1225 Posted August 24, 2015 Am I the only one who is allergic to typical tumblr speak? Something like: “Umm, excuse me? Can u not??? You are literally offending me right now, omg, I can't believe this????? You are literally shit???” I am sorry, but writing like that makes me angry and puts me off, because it sounds extremely passive aggressive, spiteful and rude. I also always read it in my head with a really conceiting voice. Also the overexeggareted use of question marks and hyperboles is an eysore. And I am saying that as someone who is terrible at writing (especially in English) I rather prefer people wriiting in 4chan speak or reading through stupid youtube comments. 2 evilcoconut and Crube reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This, and any other usage of slang, 'AAVE', or any other basic internet lingo. Tumblr is especially good at commenting in very spiteful and undermining voices, and this is probably why I never bother to initiate any conversation on there. I personally cannot quite understand why it is necessary to speak in an endless variety of abbrevations and terms that would usually never occur when someone was to speak to you normally, face-to-face. I view it as lazy, perhaps even less educated or indicating that someone has grown up in an unfortunate neighbourhood or family, and I believe people aren't quite interested in what you have to say when they keep slinging these 'joke-like' profanities toward you. The worst thing might be when they cannot bother to use proper grammar and punctuation and you have to figure out for yourself what they are saying. Honestly, when I catch myself swearing online or using any form of language that hasn't been taught to me at school, I am just deeply ashamed of myself and want to disappear. 1 paradoxal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erin 19 Posted August 24, 2015 as much as i agree with the overwhelming passive agressiveness and excessive confrontational debacles that tumblr's harvested as the pinnacle of mob mentality... saying you wouldn't use any form of language you weren't taught in school is pretty condescending lol. as if academia defined language was actually all there is to the genuine phenomena of language. i personally use excessive question marks to sound purposely silly. whenever i speak in any other way that doesn't sound formal or eloquent, it's a conscious effort to adapt to the pertinent code; as when approaching new people, a softer speech pattern and simple word usage allow for a most relaxed interaction. as zeus' link provides, code switching.

トカゲ 49 Posted August 26, 2015 Job interview next week, maybe I can quit my actual job and don't have to stand this soulless, worthless cunt anymore! I can't get why the boss isn't wondering that the assistants always quit after a short time in a branche where people normally try to stay long. On the other hand he's an asshole like my office chief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
