An unfortunate acronym
A quick and dirty St John’s Ice Caps logo I did for a laugh. All in good fun… good luck to everyone working on the project. I’m sure it’s not an easy task with the media/public breathing down your neck.
Trending
If trending topics are based on “novelty”, not popularity, shouldn’t we have 2 Trends lists?
Perhaps a Breaking list that uses the current algorithim, and a Most Popular list that displays what’s really popular at the moment.
On second thought, maybe this isn’t a great idea….
Grammer
Last night I posted an ad on some classified sites, trying to get rid of some old closet doors that’s been kicking around my house for a while.
Within 15 minutes I received my first response.
The email asked me a question… without using a question mark, or capital letters. They also threw in an abbreviated “u” for good measure. I ignored the bad grammar, and the fact that it was a silly question, and replied to the message as if a regular person had written it.
I had completely forgotten about this obscene use of the English language until this morning, when I noticed 3 more responses in my email:
Extra points goes to #4 for the use of “were”. I’m no grammer nazi, but I assumed the average person in market for used closet doors was over the age of 7.
Is this a case of the regular local classifieds visitor, or the average hotmail user?
