Walter's Glossary of Internet Annoyances

Part 1:
"And And?"

I’m sure every Myspace user has stumbled upon the doubling up of the ampersand (&&) at least once during their Myspace lives. (Myspace lives? Isn’t that an oxymoron?) If not, just go searching for some preppy girls complete with their CSS’ploding profiles and you’ll be sure to see it in their list of interests.

I rly luv <3
abercrombie && fitch <3
hugs && kisses <3
flats && converses <3
laguna beach && the oc <3
typing leik a caveman && being totally self-absorbed omg! <3

Although I’m no programmer, I have seen two ampersands used before in some programming books, and unless there’s some secret society of teenage girls that just so happen to be Cisco certified, it’s just another pointless, faddish, retarded waste of time.

And here’s what makes it even better:

If you ask them why they “spel leik dis lol” they’ll tell you that they’re able to type faster that way. Now if they were really concerned about typing speed, why would they throw in extra characters and retarded HTML tags? Because it makes the captions under their revealing pictures harder to read, "forcing" us to prolong our ogling while we try to decipher their poor attempt at the English language.

Now that I think about it, that really isn't a bad thing...Unless they're ugly.

That's all I have for today! Tune in next time to see why all browsers suck, and how I plan to change that!
