lol

to me the worst thing sum1 can write is a formal composition for a class that is written with a total disregard for grammar or, worse, in chat lingo.  im kinda a grammarian at heart and i find it hard to even force myself to write like this, bcuz its like my fingers have the muscle memory of proper usage and even some kind of respect 4 english.  newayz, i figure this topic is probly pretty boring 2 most ppl, bcuz most ppl dont really care about grammar at all, so i get 2 indulge myself with my own idea of bad and at the same time write to the prompt of something that will b boring and sucky 2 everyone.  whats sad is so many people probly wont even notice how horrible this is, bcuz in a time of facebook and iphones its like proper english has become totally irrelevant.  there should b a paragraph break here but w/e.  i know every1 in this class is either an english major or someone whose at least a lil interested in writing, but most ppl are in the antiformalist camp of disregard for all but the most basic elements of grammar and taking quite liberal literary license.  im not.  i was the random weird nerdy kid on the edge of his seat in high school when the english teacher was talking about syntax and misplaced modifiers.  ive gotten even more neurotic as ive studied it more in college, for instance, i wanted to throw a "sic" after the word "whose" earlier to seemingly indicate that my misuse was intentional, but even that was going to be an intentional misuse that i thought was too technical for anybody thats not as interested in linguistics and grammar as i am.  at this point my body is physically rebelling against going any further, i meant to throw in some more chat acronyms or phonetic misspellings but i dont really no how to express my thoughts in english that bad (sic [lol]).  so i guess ive not only rattled on about grammar, a dull subject to most, but also made myself look incredibly dull thru the process.  thats either gonna make u say well i gess his essay cant be any worse than this or o shit now i really dont wanna read his essay lol
