I know I get rattled easily and, so I’m told, about some trivial, unimportant things. But, come on, isn’t our language important? Well, if our t’interweb is anything to go by, clearly not. But is it that our language is unimportant or is it that we have become so damn lazy we can’t even be [...]
Twitter Ignorance – Are You Playing the Game?
June 19, 2011
Twitter Ignorance is the only title I could think of when I decided to write this post… After-all, quite frankly, what else can you call it?
