I've long poked fun at Twitter, because I think the term "tweeting" sounds funny, even perverse in some instances, and because I feel that along with texting, tweeting has significantly contributed to the decline of our writing skills.
Even though I still believe this to be the case, however, I decided to rejoin the site for business purposes - to help spread word about my written work. So, I've started "following" many different types of people to help keep me entertained and spread word about my work. Among these persons are a number of "fact"-oriented accounts which allege to post random facts throughout the course of a day. Upon reading these "facts," I'd say I question the validity of roughly one out of every two - which brings me to today's tweet.
One such "fact"-oriented account today tweeted that Twitter helps improve people's writing, because it helps us get to the point. Okay, I can understand where this individual is coming from, however, I highly doubt that is scientific fact. Has he/she/it read some of these tweets?
Here is a list of tweets from celebrities, along with my responses to them:
Nene Leakes: "Lawd hav mercy this is really getting dark! RHONJ reunion."
My response: Lord have mercy on this person's spelling...
E-40: "We in this than breh! #SFGiants"
My response: We're doing what? We're in what? What the heck is "breh?" Besides that, I think I get what he's trying to say here.
Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino: "Well internet is mad slow so now Me n Moses r Breaking out the PLaystation Vita n im Playin Madden NFL 2013! He will never beatme !Hes a Pup"
My response: I believe I know actual pups whom possess better grammar skills than The Situation.
Lil Scrappy: "Sometimes u can't believe ya the people we knw"
My response: Indeed. Sometimes I can't believe some person I know isn't the person I know either, or something like that. What are you trying to say again?
Rick Ross: "Fa da luv of da money"
My response: "For the first word of the competition, please spell 'the.' I'm sorry, but 'd-a' is incorrect. You may have a seat."
Lamar Odom: "how can U get mad at me time is money thats why i wait 4 no body/and I'm snatching it know/Im the ValiSpit Torian N a class full of clowns"
My response: I somehow believe that last line, for you definitely weren't the valedictorian in a class full of students.
Paul Pierce: "Stuck m traffic gotta num 2 next exit 3 miles wow"
My response: After reading this tweet, I'd say "wow" is right...
Meek Mill: "Oh u b hating wit them huhhnn..... Pillow talkin wit dem hoes wen u heard that I hit it huhhhnnnn #dc3 #dreamsandnightmares in stores now"
My response: Dreams and nightmares? If I were an English professor and grading this tweet, I'd simply call it a nightmare.
Tameka Harris: "U guys no its Mon.Night so u should already no what I want! Don't miss FH tonight on VH1 at 9 est! I believe u will really laugh 2nite"
My response: When responding to a question, I wonder if Ms. Harris ever says, "Yes, know, maybe so."
Mary J. Blige: "Why is that people try to understand estimate my intelligents?! They should never do that! I haven't been on (cont) http://tl.gd/u6v0"
My response: ...and the question of the day is whose "inteligents" do we "misunderestimate" more - Mary J. Blige or George W. Bush?"
Yeah, what was that "fact"-oriented user saying again? That's what I thought...
