And Robin said, &quot;The reason I don't love you is because you're an AOL lamer. I could never love a boy who types in all caps.&quot; Her words hit me like 72-point font. &quot;Boy? She called me a boy?&quot; I thought to myself. As if reading my mind, she said &quot;Yes, a boy. I only date real men. Men who use proper punctuation and capitalization. Nothing turns me on more than adherence to the rules of the English language. A man who has no regard for the value of language can hardly be called a man.&quot; Now I was starting to get mad, my feelings of rejection falling to the wayside. I tried to interrupt but she continued, &quot;How much could you have really valued our relationship if you wouldn't even turn off caps lock for me? Do I mean that little to you?&quot; With a disgusted look, she turned to leave me there angry and crying, but not before saying &quot;You're blocked from my heart with a warning level of 100%&quot; 2007-12-03T06:43:25Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/12531 <p>wow i love it.<br />very funny.<br />nice writting</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12531?basename=26365 2007-12-03T06:43:25Z theworldscrewedmeover http://ficlets.com/authors/user_2580 <p>wow i love it.<br />very funny.<br />nice writting</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12531?basename=26366 2007-12-03T06:43:25Z theworldscrewedmeover http://ficlets.com/authors/user_2580 <p>I love the melodrama.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12531?basename=26296 2007-12-02T21:28:58Z Terminus http://ficlets.com/authors/riggs <p>this was great, it so annoying when people TaLk liike Diizzz.

I thought I was the only one who cared enough to write as well as talk like you were educated beyond the 3rd grade. I love what Annabell Lee said, &#8220;Proper grammar, it IS sexy!&#8221; I&#8217;d never look at someone a second time if they had poor grammar skills. Another english snob, indeed, count me in too!

Its a bit shallow, but your text tells you who you are as an individual. I know where you are coming from where one&#8217;s text can tell a persons personality. Organization and structure shows good quality when it comes to being educated. On the other hand, typing like this &#8221; ! l0v3 y0|_|&#8221; seems a bit psychoish and it shows lack of online ethic.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12531?basename=25287 2007-11-26T15:14:18Z TheLinkedOne http://ficlets.com/authors/thelinkedone <p>I loved it!<br />=]<br />Cute, it annoys me as well.
