This just popped up on my facebook newsfeed from my 24 year old neice who had just got off the plane in Vancouver from a wonderful European vacation and now on her way to catch a ferry to Victoria, B.C. > [@my neice](#): > > To the man who sat beside me on the plane…not to worry …I didn’t really want the entire tiny seat I paid for…spead ur legs n arms as far as u would like…n I would love for u to be comfortable…so go ahead n use my back as an arm rest as I try to sleep…n I really didn’t need my sleep for the shift i have to work tonight so I’m glad u poked me n woke me up once I finally fell asleep to fill out UR declaration…also ur very perceptive my shower this morning was not sufficient enough…so thank for giving me an extra rinse well u spoke to me…and ur right u should hate Canada n Canadians…were horrible unwelcoming people…n it was very endearing n not creepy at all when u patted me on the head n kissed my cheek…Gahhhh WORST FLIGHT EVER!!!.. Thank u to the couple behind me that told the flight attendant that they thought I was being harassed…n I was moved 5hrs into my flight…haha now time to board the ferry n head to work…lol…HAPPY TO BE HOME :)🙂 What a fucking nightmare ! ---

If she was concerned about it being easier to type on a keypad, she shouldn’t have used so many ellipses. ---

Your niece is not immune. Seriously though. She’s in her mid-20’s and she types like that? My facebook feed only gets stuff like that from my very young cousins. ---

Dude was a douche, of course. (I make half my posts to the SDMB via iPhone touchscreen. The ideas I come up with may suck, but they are in full sentences with decent capitalization and grammar. 😃 ) ---

The ideas I come up with may suck, but they are in full sentences with decent capitalization and grammar. 😃 ) Yeah I don’t buy the whole excuse. I manage to update statuses, and post to the forums in coherent sentences when I am on my touchscreen smart phone. It’s not impossible. It doesn’t even take much longer. ---

> [@Lord\_Feldon](#): > > If she was concerned about it being easier to type on a keypad, she shouldn’t have used so many ellipses. What is the deal with the ellipses in bad online writing, anyway? It’s like they can’t think of any other punctuation and are trying, very badly, to show some sort of stream of consciousness. I do find them useful at times in a text form like this to show a sort of trailing off at the end of a thought… ---
