Loveeeee, Hateeeeee. Whtttt Issssss Ittttt? Irritating.

Teenagers, I've only ever seen ya'll do this one, so I'm blaming this on you. And if you are a teenager and you don't participate in this past the point of laughable typing skill, THANK YOU.

Exhibit A

"Nooooooooo, uuuuuuu cn'tttt doooo thssss 2 meeeeeeee."

Forget the "u" for "you" right now, I can't even go there. I realize while chatting online we all may stress the last letter on the end of ONE word in order to display surprise or disbelief, but why do you need to add multiple last letters to EVERY WORD IN THE SENTENCE?! And the best part is, you add extra letters you don't need to the end of words while omitting letters you do need to correctly spell words!

Try speaking a sentence like the one above you have typed. Even characters on the worst soap opera don't speak this dramatically. (Yes, Days Of Our Lives, I'm talking about you.  It's a shame Passions is no longer on the air or I wouldn't have even picked on you right there.) This is just annoying and it makes you sound like you are constantly on your period (males included).

But not only is this heinous typing habit used to express your teenage angst, it's also used at the other end of the spectrum.

Exhibit B

"Iiiiiiiiii loveeeeeee youuuuuuu," "Lveeeee youuuuuu," "Luvvvvvvuuuuuuuuu."

And numerous other variations of the expression are read in response to teen facebook pictures and statuses every day. Especially girls. Girls, let me tell you something. Most of you will not be friends forever. As much as you believe you will, cases of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants are far and few between. One of you will grow bigger boobs than the rest of your friends and will start attracting male attention. This attention will lead her into the "popular" group, leaving the rest of you in the dust. Another one of you will start to excel in a certain area, say volleyball or lacrosse. This sport and team will soon become her life, again leaving the rest of you....in the dust. Your personal dust particle will end up being so minuscule that you will undoubtedly regret those "loveeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuu's." The "cool kids" may even go as far as purging them for their facebook forever.

And of course, we can't forget about this last part.

Exhibit C

"Withhhh myyyy grlfriendddd. I loveeee my bybyyyy." "I love my boyfrndddd soooooooo mchhhhhh!!!!! Loveee uuuuu boooooo." "Withhhh myyyyy baybeeeee, gettinnnn rdyyyyy."

As much as most of you examples in Exhibit B will end up hating each other, the hate ratio quadruples for you couples in Exhibit C. You will not be together forever. You will end up regretting this cyber love (albeit extremely exaggerated and once again, sans necessary letters) you once expressed. Why leave yourself (and others) reminders of this?

In fact during and after the break up stages of friendship and "love", you all return to Exhibit A, teenage angst and black clouds in tact. You have created a viscous cycle. Let's just pray it doesn't carry over to your schoolwork.

Like friends, foes and exes, I'm hoping you'll outgrow this typing craze too.
