In this thread, Senusret I complains about bad grammar in facebook status updates

This one person I used to go to college with puts up these statuses in all caps that are so far abbreviated and misspelled that they're hard to read. What's up now (status+response to someone) looks a bit like this:

BEEN WIT WIT DA HUBBY BOOTER DESE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS....HOPEFULLY GOIN OUT 2MORO NYT N DEN BACK 2 WORK ON SATURDAY. SUNDAY DINNER WIT DA FAM CANT WAIT N DEN Joslynn Keeps'it A'hundred B-DAY IS NEXT WEEK WE GETTIN IT IN!!!! LUVIN MY FAM RYT NOW....

I feel it's appropriate to mention this girl is famous in my class for getting hit by a car freshman year. Or rather she's famous for standing up, looking at the car like it offended her, and walking away from the accident scene.

it hurts to read when people type like that. it hurts as someone who went to school, as someone who respects the english language, and physically hurts my head to have to decipher that mess. i feel like it's more work to type like that. and the all caps always irritates me. ALWAYS.

I like my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend just fine, but I'm sick enough of the "mmmmm I miss my baby" and "mmmmm I'm so tired" in her status updates that I finally hid her today. I feel liberated.

This is exactly what did me in:

mmm,,YAY,, all done with the semester! and FINALLY have a day off work! getting readyyy, getting my highlights redone, then out all day with my baby for his birthdayy ♥

I actually might hide him, too, if only for the obnoxious profile pic he has of them kissing.

Do it. I hide people all the time.

My latest pet peeve, "joint" profiles. I got a friend request from "MrandMrs Brand."

I was like WTF?

Turns out, it is a girl I went to HS with who dated this guy all through HS, and got engaged to him in 2007. She and her fiance have a profile "together."

MrandMrs Brand's interests include "spending time with High School girl's adorable 5 year old and planning our 2013 wedding, and helping Fiance find a job."

I confirmed the request but ended up deleting it. MrandMrs Brand's status updates were too dumb and included things like "we are going to a job interview for Fiance, good luck Fiancee! Mrs. Brand loves you!"

I mean, really? For starters, "joint Facebook" is lame, but how are you Mrs. Brand and you're not even married?

A lot of people on my Facebook have changed their last names to their SO's and they aren't even engaged.

In fact....*goes to check*......yeah, Ms.-I-WRYT-N-ALL CAPZ that I posted above mentioned a "hubby" in her status and they clearly aren't even engaged.

What got to me is I added a guy I went to school with. When he got married, he changed his profile to a joint one with his wife, but he never posted anything, she pretty much took it over. Now, they've somehow split their profiles so that there are 2 separate ones...and I'm friends with both of them. No clue how that happened.

Funny story about joint profiles- at my school, there is a set of twins in attendance. Not all that unusual- except they share the same major. And insist on living together. And have been known to wear matching outfits (no, I'm not kidding). One of my acquaintances lived with them last year- they were prone to walking around the apartment in just tighty-whiteys. They're down right creepy. Guess what else they share? A Facebook... I haven't friended them because I don't really know them except by sight, but I have been so tempted to!

Facebook wins!

They don't seem to be enforcing it at all, though.

It didn't say all that when I changed my name. I was just adding my maiden name in there, so people from high school and college knew who I was.

Many people probably got their names in before the change. It should apply to those new to the site & future changes though.

I've only changed my name once and it was when I added my middle name. It's given my a similar dialogue before, though. I added my middle name over a year ago. Maybe it's because of my age group? I mean, probably 1/3 of my friends have stupid long fake names.

OH, my last ex has this person as a friend: "Alvinthetattedupdevilmyblood Linesocoldicanwatchniggasdie Causeimmaeightmilenthfolife"

Classy.

ETA: I'm creeping on this Alvin character now and just discovered we have quite a few friends in common. I might know him. Hm.

[IlovemyAKA]

smh @ that name

[KSUViolet06]

My favorite made up names are the ones with rap song titles in them, such as:

Suzie ICanMakeYourBedRock Jones
Laquonda IsA FiveStarChick
Tony RunsThisTown
