3 Comments The Mxit Generation Would Drive Mr Wilson To Drink!

Article written by the awesome Sean Lloyd on the 31 Mar 2010

My English teacher in high school, Mr Wilson, would fall out the second floor window of RBHS if he saw the ILLITERATE FOOLS in the world today! No doubt inspired by all that is wrong with the world (Mxit), I saw this on the Ster Kinekor Facebook group right now:

illiterate fool

For crying in a bucket of coke! How do you expect anyone to take you seriously in life if you write like that, Bapollo? If I were handling the Ster Kinekor Facebook page, I wouldn’t reply on principal.

Or maybe Beebop should read THIS (For the Mxit generation)

Or I’d tell Poppadom to Just Fucking Google It (HERE)

Well, I read that a couple of hours and thought exactly the same thing. I mean, does “owt” for “out” save any time? Well, you have to hit the 9 key once instead of the 8 key twice, but haven’t you heard of predictive text? What about the extra time it takes other to figure out what the crap you’re trying to say?

I handle a very similar Facebook page, and I thought the same thing, “on principle.” But then, I’m not speaking for myself there.

Y you gta b so judgmental? If i lyk to type lyk dis den so b it. Im not asking u 2 read my wryting. If u need proper grammer nd wryting go read d cape argus :P :P

No, don’t worry. I don’t type/text/Facebook like a retard and I know grammar is not “grammer”. I was making an illustration. The thing is, even though we hate/despise the writing style of the “mxit generation” I’m sorry to say that most (normal) people actually understand the drivel that people spout on social networks (where most people have a full keyboard at their fingertips) and in text messages. That’s just sad.

I think people should boycott retard speak (as it should now be called) and in the unfortunate event of receiving something clearly written by someone with the apparent brain power of a 4 year old chimpanzee, one should not reply, no matter what.

My rant for today.
Cheers.

It is sad that we can actually decipher the rubbish being written! Mostly though it takes me a while to work out what people are trying to say when they write like fools.

You're VERY correct on not replying when people write like this...I've been known not to reply to people like this. If you can't take the extra few seconds to bother writing a decent message, you surely don't deserve anyone's time. And if you write to friends like this, well damn, friendship has now become very cheap!

I'm not a fan of it, and I'm happy you aren't either :)
