- Contrary to popular belief,repparttar word 'Cool' is spelled withoutrepparttar 118492 use of a 'K', and 'E' or even a 'W'. There is a high probability that you don't even pronounce it in a manner that would infer those letters, so why type them? Typing four different letters is no slower than typingrepparttar 118493 original four that actually belong torepparttar 118494 word. - Exclamation Marks are solitary creatures. They don't like to be herded together into packs. They also take offense torepparttar 118495 presence of many other punctuation marks, such asrepparttar 118496 affable but sometimes irritating Question Mark. Please don't abuse our friendrepparttar 118497 Exclamation Mark, don't force him/her to share sentence space with other sentence ending punctuation marks. - The letter 'D' is notrepparttar 118498 phonetic equivalent of 'TH'. The letters 'TH' form a soft sound, butrepparttar 118499 letter 'D' is a hard sound. Please try not to confuserepparttar 118500 two. - The first letter ofrepparttar 118501 first word of a sentence should be capitalized. The first letter of a proper noun should be capitalized. Gratuitous use of capitalization should be avoided and used only as a last resort. - Numbers are not letters. You cannot spell a word with numbers; no matter how hard you try. You can spell a number with letters, butrepparttar 118502 opposite is not true. Numbers are not as versatile as we have been lead to believe. Punctuation marks behave similarly, and should not be used inrepparttar 118503 formation of words. - Emoticons are useful tools for showing your emotions. Avoid abusing them and trying to construct entire sentences or stories usingrepparttar 118504 little yellow smiles. It doesn't work.

I know I can't turnrepparttar 118505 tide of popular opinion, but as someone who actually likes our language I sometimes feel as though I have to try. Languages evolve and change over time to fitrepparttar 118506 current generation's needs. There's no need or point in stopping this, but I'd prefer that our language continued to contain actual words, not unpronounceable mish-mashes of letters.
