At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I have to ask something. Why is it that some of this younger generation cannot compose a complete sentence? I swear that I almost needed a Rosetta Stone to translate what the OP was trying to say. My teachers would have smacked me with a ruler if I composed sentences like that.
"yay me umm" - what the hell does that mean?
"sad me live in nc" - I would be sad as well if I spoke this way
Hehe, you should see the comments on youtube, when they aren't full of absolute HATE, cursing, ranting, raving, bi-polar ANGER and outright hostility, and calling people's mothers a ...... they are full of the craziest misspelling you would ever find, even on the most ordinary and simple words such as "their" v/s "there." You almost can't read half of them.
Anyway, "yay me umm" is sort of a modern version of a "high five", remember the "high five!"?
and so you know, some of us use wierd ASCII too, such as my;
\0/ = hands up in the air in happy celebration= YAY!
But seriously, I know exactly what you mean, and it's a challenge at times to read some of the things I do.
As they say- you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and in a text environment we really only have our words to go by to judge character and education, so it's important.
As for me, I'm hardly a bastian of perfection with punctuation and grammar, but I do very well despite having skipped half the 9th grade all of the 10th grade and dropped out.
The NYC public school system was lousy, it took them over 6 months to finally figure out I was not in school at all, and they sent a truant officer over to find out why.
English and math both earned around 50% and 60% grades for me because the math was that horrible "new math" they taught in the 70's, and my family moved almost every year when I was a kid. As a result, I wound up in a different school every time and would be totally lost.
However, I didn't idle away when I was cutting the 9th grade, no, in fact I used to spend the school day at the public library reading books, very advanced adult and technical books on science, astronomy, history, biology, art, surgery, medical, legal, geology and anything else that I found fascinating.
I used to go to the BIG main library there in NYC that has the rare books and manuscripts, and I'd check out interesting maps and books, but also went to the rare book room where you had to tell the clerk which book you wanted, and they brought it to your table wearing cotton gloves, and the clerk would sit beside you with a special wand and turn your pages for you (you were not allowed to touch these books from the 1400's and 1500's etc)
So that was where I spent most of my "school" days when I cut school
It was so much more interesting than the subjects I had in the 9th grade- math, english, music (90%) science (95%) typing, spanish (which I hated) gym (which I hated and cut even though it was required for graduation) Business ed (90%)
As a result, when I went for a GED years later, I had a college level reading/comp score but 50's on the math and grammar. I passed the GED with a near perfect score.
