Well, I thought the IDK My BFF Rose? was bad enough. I was wrong, very very wrong. I work as a math tutor for my school up in the Academic Resource Center. The ARC has t-shirts available for their workers at no cost to them. The front of the shirt is nice and neat but the back made me want to scream. The entire back of the shirt is txt tlk. Constant abbreviations and the like. I saw the shirt and ranted to one of my friends for a good twenty minutes or so.

I think the people who are the writing tutors get a kick out of it because they don't seem to mind txt tlk at all. But me being the grammar Nazi I can be sometimes, I just wanted to burn the shirts and have someone redo them, properly.

I dare not type what the blasphemy was on the shirt, it is just too horrible to even conceptualize.

Awww.... I wanted to see what was on the shirts though so I can comment about what it says too. Why though, why did they cover completly good shirts in "txt tlk"?
