Ignorance

Ignorance takes many forms. I'm sure Webster defines it as the state of being oblivious or uninformed or whatever, but I'm inclined to strongly believe that many of you have encountered ignorance in its many shapes, forms and occupationally hazardous derivatives.

The more I deliberate on the staggering amount of ignorance in the world, hell, in the damn country, the further I slip into the nihilistic methodology of thinking. Very often I find myself not caring enough to put forth the effort into having the empathy necessary to, well, care in the first place (vicious cycle. I know).

The biggest thing that bothers me is terrible grammar. Oh, and when people replace letters with numbers. Or vice versa. N0 way 1n h3ll sh0uld a s3nt3nc3 l00k l1k3 th1s. Holy shit, that took me way too long to type.

Typing improperly takes MORE time. Wow. What the shit.

More to come later. All this talk makes my stomach bubble.

I'm a grammar Nazi too...too many things make me cringe but I've started to let it slide I guess.

But I know TOO may people who use that number letter spelling and manage to throw every number on the keyboard in a sentence. And they do it religiously like that's how they've learned it in grade school. I still can't seem to get what this spelling does to someone's status or coolness(need to lay off the Lupe)... -shrug- annoys the hell out of me though.
