Twitterpated


I finished my first draft of Immaterial and #amediting (how is it Twitter tags are seeping into my everyday thoughts and grammar?).  I can only imagine what my communication will look like  in a year or two.  Probably something like this:

(Warning: If you don't speak Twitter, this will be gibberish)

Dear @lifelongfriend,

It's been way 2 long since we #YALitChatted.  Things have been hectic #Kidsoutofschool #BuyingaHouse #EpicEverythingFAIL.  By the way, did you catch #TheLastestRealityShow last night? Wasn't @FamousFemale so #annoying?  Good thing they have @FamousMale.  His hair looked AmaZING!! <----- I <3 him soo much!!! #stillhappilymarriedmomwithacrush  Glad we could catch up.  I #missyousomuch (#FF @lifelongfriend #TT @lifelongfriend #WW @lifelongfriend #MM @lifelongfriend )

Haha.... is it disturbing that I read that with no problem whatsoever? Yay! Now I know that I will be reading something awesome very soon! Hooray! #exclamationpointsareveryappropriatehere #dontquestionme

I always find myself trying to use tags in posts on Facebook... people there think there is something wrong with me.

I'm still new to the twitter tag phenomenon. I really need to figure this out. Maybe in September. Congrats on finishing. We are in the same boat because I just finished my last round of edits as well. Here's to the next step - Querying - ugh.

Total gibberish. Is there a class I can take to learn the Twitter language? If it's anything like german than there's no hope for me.

Congrats on the finish!

And yeah, like J.R. (what the--?) I read it perfectly which is really sad. :)

I'm see hashtags on Tumblr and Facebook, too. I hope I never see them in my students' essays, though. Some things seep into standard language when they're not supposed to.
