Dear Internet,
I am writing to inform you that the following elements of your cyber-culture humor are no longer deemed amusing (if, in fact, they ever were) and should be removed from subsequent communications effective immediately.
- Sentences ending with "!!!111".
- Use of the word "teh" instead of "the".
- The terms Interweb or Intarweb*.
- Posts addressed to abstract entities, such as "Dear Internet"
- Posts or emails ending with "That is all."
- The phrase "BEST [noun] EVAR"
- Terms that stand for something you've never actually done, such as "ROFL"
- Memes whose results are arbitrary and meaningless (e.g., "You are the color yellow! You're the opposite of Purple!!").
In addition, the following terms have been deprecated and should be discontinued over the following six months: "ASL", "LOL", "O RLY", "pr0n" and "OMG". It is understood that these terms are much loved and thus very popular; please be assured, however, that they have officially been re-categorized as Internet cliches.
Your understanding is appreciated.
That is all.
*"Cyberspace" and "Information Superhighway", however, are alright because they're retro now.
