They're in Canada, Canadian addresses. So that's one thing.

Grenada doesn't have any kind of address or postal code system. Be thankful you're dealing with the good -nada.

yes, yes it is.

everyone should just ignore me this week. My stress level is through the fucking roof, I am loosing my mind.

I assume that spell-check changed pain to pita, and you are referring to our alpha-numeric area codes which are, no doubt, more of a pain to enter than numeric zips.

It's okay. Gamelive understands.

pita = pain in the ass.

Oh. Well don't I look like quite the choad then.

I do occasionally get confused by acronyms that spell real words. Like GOAT for greatest of all time. Some guise on the radio were discussing Lebron James, calling him a goat, and I'm like what the hell guise? I don't know what he did that you're mad about but I gotta think he has done enough good basketball up till now to get the benefit of the doubt.

Lebron James a goat. Pfft.

But actually I was just being ignorant and unhip and choadish.

apparently now-a-days the cool kids are using "glitch" and "clutch" to explain how cool something is.
You know which one is a bit lost on me..."lit".
people these days just be deciding to take per-existing words and twist and alter the meanings. No wonder the millennial generation are such morons.

 

[Matty]

Cami you're a millenial.

And every young generation likes to create its own twisted lingo.

That's sick, bro!

 

[Cami]

borderline gen x/millennial. whatever, it's still stupid.

was there a generation y?

It's something I think about as I set about writing a novel. How long before it will seem like gibberish to the English speaking world.

Similar to how, say, The Canterbury Tales is in English and you almost need a translation to get through it. (Not saying I expect that level of interest in my thing, just speaking theoretically).

The Canterbury Tales was written some 600 years ago. I would submit that language is changing at a far accelerated rate now than it did for a lot of those 600 years. I could see 150 years from now, a bunch of typical 8 foot tall humans looking at my book and scratching their surgically altered heads and saying something we can't imagine now which means WTF was this this tiny primitive gargoyle getting at?

 

[Cami]

was there a generation y?

Yes. That is the generation born 1982 and before but after the baby boomers.

Muddy. I wouldn't think language would change that drastically. If it did....it probably would make no Damn sense and people would be confused because so many words would Cary double if not cripple meanings. Imo.

Some types of English are fascinating... Say like Jamaican patois or the Deep Southern drawl... Its amazing how many forms English has already taken.
