Ask The Narrator 5- Chatspeak

Nowdays, all we see is these kids using chatspeak constantly and becoming so lazy that
they won't even spell out words. I mean, the words chatspeak and text talk are already
in the dictionary, does that mean l33t is next? The next thing you know, all our words will
have a "shortened" spelling. I don't know about you, but this is not what I want to read
in the dictionary-

"You (u)- noun- Referring to a person one is talking to; second person. Note: U is the cool
people's way to spell it."

I'd much rather see this in the dictionary-

"TTYL- phrase- A shortened way of telling someone you'll talk to them later, but probably
won't because they aren't worth the ten seconds of your life to type fourteen stinkin' letters."

That makes me think... hmm... maybe I should write my own dictionary: the cool, hip, modern
dictionary. Maybe I'll call it "The In Your Face Dictionary For The Rest Of Us." Yea that's a
great money making ploy....

Well, enough of my schemes and back onto my chatspeak rant. People argue that chatspeak
is making our children lazy and putting a rise in illiteracy because our children can't spell
anymore. Why blame the text talk when it's obviously your fault? You're the ones who let
your kids stare at two glowing boxes all day ((computer and television)) that show them
obesity and laziness is okay. They also show your kids that you can hit someone with a
huge mallet and their eyes pop out as well as that common physics don't exist, but that's
another argument entirely. Maybe they'd be less lazy if they got out of the house once in
a while.

Or maybe we just need some new stupid ploy to get kids busy doing something
else. Next time your kid is running up the texting bills, send them outside with their friends
and tell them to send messages to each other  using sticks, rocks and dirt. That way, they're
getting fresh air, aren't running up the bill, and are out of your hair! Let's ignore that they'll
have to bathe more often, but that's probably a plus too.

Oh well, guess we're stuck in a haze of more constantly stupidity in this world.
