Initial Reactions

iScream, uScream, weallScream, for no apparent reason.

iHate this trend. iEverything everywhere. [iExpect any day now to see a new perfume: iSmell. Or a new deodorant: iStink. And then we will truly have hit rock bottom. iThink.]

Integrating numbers did not bother me as much. 2 good + 2 be = 4 gotten was just 2 stupid 2 last 4 long anyway.

MidCaps [also called BumpyCaps, CamelCase, and several other terms] did not bother me as much. In fact, I like using it for the little bit of scripting and programming that I do. And when writing my name.

But this iThing irks me. [It could even iRk me iSuppose.] I’m not [or should that be iAm not?] one of the iPeople — I have an mp3 player, but it’s not an iPod… I have computers, but not iMacs…. And iLike 2think that is not the only reason iHate iWords. But it CouldBeSo.

  Hey ya, Tim!
  
  You know, I only like it when mac uses the iThing. I get annoyed when anyone else uses it, like they are just being big fat copycats or something.
  
  The numbers thing annoys the CRAP out of me, as well as using U for you and B for be. Especially in song lyrics! Ick!! I feel like my skin could crawl right off my body if I have to be exposed to that too long.
  
  But I am not fond of numbers and I love words, so it must just be a personal thing.
  Thanks for letting me rant.
