"Shakesphere"
A review of Tammy by quite angry - Friday 5th of March 2004
Why on Earth does everyone insist on mispelling and abusing this fine language that has taken so many years to form and develop. Why do you so crudely warp the language of Shakesphere, Marlow, Larkin, so that irritatingly s becomes z, see boyz, girlz, THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME LENGTH. Similarly boi, why oh why oh why, what is wrong with boy? or Sk8r, I take exception to this, numbers have never been used as part of English up until now.
Maybe this is part of the development of the English language, but I for one just see it as a sad indictment of youth culture which has lost all spirit of ingenuity and feeling of a need to change what is wrong with the world and has just become another part of the way in which people conform without question to those in power, or those with money, such as girls cladding themselves in Tammy girl clothes attempting to rebel.
What exactly are you rebelling or being alternative against? If you really want to be different try taking a look at the worlds injustices and bring that to peoples attention, for example instead of wearing a shirt saying "anarchy" when I seriously doubt that anyone of you would argue for an anarchist state, try wearing one saying "make trade fair."
Don't just swallow everything that everyone tells you, you are young, you have a brilliant opportunity to change things, don't devote your all time to looking cool and ruining language, be yourself and try to make a difference then looking cool will just come naturally.
