I’m slightly obsessed with Bebo.com at the moment. Or more specifically the profiles on Bebo.com.

I know this makes me a terrible old man but - seriously - not one of them is written in proper sentences or proper English.

It really scares the shit out of me. Either I’m really, really out of touch and today’s yoot have created an entirely new language, carefully designed to exclude people outside of their peer group; or teen-orientated social networks are breeding a generation of illiterate retards who are too fucking lazy to learn to spell.

The company received £8m in venture funding last year. Presumably they used it to buy a machine that removes all the vowels in sentences.
