(no subject)
I'm going to say this and i'm only going to explain this once.
I'm lazy and I don't waste more energy than what is needed.
This is for people who online "chat" with me.
Often, people will ask me "Whatz up?" or "Whats neW?"
then I reply "nothing" because that is the truth,
that in fact I am doing nothing, scratching my balls and thinking of the color blue.
Because my one word answer was so precise and honest, those people usually reply "hEy, what'z wrong?" or "why so emotionless??1" or "you ain't got no character", meaning they think something is wrong, that i'm emotionless and i have no character in my words. I do have character people, i'm just sorry that my DSL modem can't digitally make you see that.
Here is the explanation:
1. When a question can be answered with a simple yes, i'll say "yes" instead of " ~** yEa dUh of coUrs3 YE5 (*) oui oui (%)~~-_\** "
2. A written conversation is about communicating, getting the message through one another, not associating and feeding emotions off words as if it were a face to face conversation. Face to face conversations are tricky, because you can feed the message different tones of voice, facial expressions and various noises. As for a written conversation, you can't.
In the early days of LDC (long distance communication), people who received s.o.s. Morse codes weren't wondering "He sounds depressed, no, wait, disappointed, because I can tell ". No. In today's pop culture, teens and tweens across the globe still use LDC (long distance communication), except they use all their messages with visual expressions such as yellow faces with various emotions. They also use a diverse amount of faulty grammar, done in purpose might I add. All of this is to make the conversation more life-like. People in between the ages of 0 and 21 are stupid. When they ask someone in a written conversation "how are you?", and the other person responds "okay", then for some mysterious reason, the person who asked the question associates a bunch of emotions to that response without even knowing what it may truely be.
Is it "okay" in a low key? Meaning, is the person trying to brush me off? Or is it "okay" in a high key? Meaning, the person is doing just fine? OR is it a sarcastic "okay"? The trick to sarcasm is the tone of voice that is used, since there is none in written conversations, it eliminates the whole factor.
In conclusion, people should acknowledge the answer to their question and not create a superficial conversation around it. Thank you.
P.S. The blame goes to teens and tweens from our pop culture that created this type of online messaging disease. Also, people should start reading more books. Not only read them, but properly understand them.
Thank you.
