So one of the undergrads I work with recently told me this in an IM:
my dad sent me a text today that said "hey [name] watch out for snow el oh el" then I asked why he said el oh el and he said he thought if he put lol that I wouldn't get it
El Oh El: A Critical Analysis of Modal-Intermodal Language Evolution
ABSTRACT: The interplay of language modalities was established long ago (Moriancomur & Moriancomur, 3000BCE), but the relatively recent development of intermodes (Browne, in preparation) such as txt have only begun to affect their associated primary modes. This analysis examines a single case of this transmodal feedback through a critical lens to definitively establish the causal effects. The negative impact on underprivileged and disenfranchised groups is also exaplained.
Sometimes late at night I break into song. And in recognition of that whole it's - really - too - late - for - anyone - to - expect - me - to - be - rational thing, I typically preface my musical rendition with, "That reminds me of a song...and it goes a little something like this."
And so, when the mood strikes me, or the hour is late enough ;) , here is where I'll break into the silly songs of my childhood, the pseudo-intellectual ramblings of my grad student-hood, the haphazard mutterings of my single-hood, the philosophical musings of my female-hood, the inspirational babblings of my human-hood, the frazzled sputterings of my junior high French teacher-hood.
So world, this is me. These are my thoughts, this is my life. And it goes a little something like this...
