Social Media Idiots

Came here to post that.
"We're gonna build a wall, and make the Mexicans pay for it..."
"I love Hispanics!"

The equivalent of the skinhead prick who goes on EDL rallies and the. Claims he can't be racist because he likes curry.

My friend has just texted me to tell me that Facebook is prompting her to make an event for my birthday next week, apparently it thinks I'm going to be lonely. Is this what passes for corporate social responsibility these days?

We're all worried about you, mate.

I don't know why but "texted" really annoys me. I have no idea what the correct word is but I use text as I think that sounds better. I need help.

I'm going to say it feels like a 'wrong' past tense of verb, despite actually being regular. Could be because the SOUND "-ext" (flexed, perplexed), "ixt" (fixed, mixed) or "-axt" (taxed) is already the past tense, so adding textED seems unnatural.

I would always say he text me yesterday.

He sent me a text yesterday

Problem solved

Sexted.

I see your point, but I'm pretty sure that texted is what you would find in a dictionary.

I don't doubt that it's correct but it just grates on me. It just sounds wrong.

They discussed this very subject on Radio 4 last week (among other things)

Consensus seemed to be that "text" was best as it sounded more natural.

Texted doesn't bother me as much as when people are talking about multiple texts and end up saying textes.... What the fuck is that!?!?

I've never seen/heard that.

Lucky you, it's a more in person thing, but my god it makes me want to punch someone.

Romney Marsh...

I like that she spelt local differently within 4 typed words.

The Americans use vacation as a verb. I vacation in Aruba.

Not sure if it's relevant but new form of speech often negates languages. In France, we've had some kind of law (or project of passing a law) that makes French easier for the younger generations. Da fuck is dat shit?

How come she's still using Twitter anyway? What's wrong with Menshn?

You've got to admire the commitment.

Sister had a Facebook rant this morning about how enraged she was that HMRC were charging her £116 in tax when she'd been living and earning in Israel for three months. She was livid about it, UK government taking her rightful money and all that.

Brother looked into it. It was a £116 tax rebate.

Your sister sounds awful.

Edit: also because she ate your paneer meal. I'm not that harsh.

Haha, good memory bank. She's joint top in the people I love immensely, but even when she's a few thousand miles away you can tell when she's at it again.
