My belly dance teacher insists on spelling "thoughts" as "thots" in FB posts. Do not want
I am normally a staunch descriptivist, but NO.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And her typical use is to post some information and then say "your thots" and I just shudder
My breakfast burrito was pretty bland. I am a bundle of discontented ennui

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ltc has croup and a flu-like virus that isn't the flu. We've had to cancel all our school vacation plans.
Oh no!

I might have also said "Oh no!" to these, but they are not nearly as bad as ltc's sickness, so I'll just say "oh no...."

Does she know the acronym? If so, tell her to get on Tinder and get her own thots, like everyone else.
I'm pretty much over the GI ick that laid me low for the last part of last week. Which is nice, especially since St. Markdown's Day candy is all over the place at the office. Now I can do something other than look mournfully at it.

Oh man, I would have to hide her, the "thots" would drive me up a wall!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I really hate the increasing/increased use of words that are misspelled or shortened ... I'm sick of "nite" and "thru" used in regular writing and I really really hate "DMV" being used for "District-Maryland-Virginia" ... I mean, a visit to the original DMV is unpleasant enough to have made the acronym's association unpleasant.
In related news, yesterday on the bus, the man next to me asked me to pull the cord for the next stop. I did, he said "thank you" and I replied "you're welcome" ... to which he thanked me again for not saying "no problem".

Our wings are not tired.
Your thots on no problem? (Okay, that really hurt to type)

It's less aggravation for me to have her sick on vacation week because she's not crying to go to school, but it's sucks that she is going to miss going out with her grandparents and having her cousins over. I was planning on trying to see Birds of a pretty while she was with her grandparents. I'm hiding in my room right now while she drinks all the juice she wants and watches all the TV she wants because I have a migraine.

Oh man, one of my coworkers just said on a conference call that something was a "mute" point. I am only so descriptivist and that is not it.
