When people use the @ instead of typing "at". In order to get the @ you have to press the shift button, hold it down and press the 2 button. It isn't a struggle for me, because I can type with my eyes closed. But it takes just as much, maybe a little more work, to use the @ than type "at". In both forms you have to press two buttons. Is @ just easier to read than "at"? I think it makes people look stupid. Unless it is an e-mail address or something, or if you're writing it out physically, typing @ is stupid.
You know what else??? I hate "half-a-dozen." Four syllables, right? You know what isn't four syllables? SIX!!! It's ONE syllable. And "a dozen" for twelve. Once again. Three syllables against one. Why would people take the extra time to say that?
That is all.
I'm sure I'm gonna get some smart ass fucking know-it-all response which is why I make most of my entries private. But in the spirit of not doing as much work, which is what this is about, I'll make it "everyone".
