What language is this?

This is a reply to a post a friend made on FB.  Is there some crazy FB lingo I don't know?

Re: What language is this?

  • Stupid. 

    I have a FB friend that I went to high school with that writes like this.  Every post all day long.

    I often question if we received the same education.

    I won't defriend him, for several reasons, but I can't read 99% of his posts.

  • And the dumbing down of America continues......
  • I NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE TYPE EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.  IS THEIR COMPUTER BROKEN?  DO THEY NOT KNOW HOW TO TYPE?  IS IT EASIER TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS?
  • High school girl. They'll email me like that. I respond back I refuse to answer unless it's in proper English

  • Assuming this person is not of an age where this is considered the normal way to communicate then I just assume they're FB ing from a phone or iPad and it is faster to use text speak.

  • the language of "texting"

    formal english has gone out the window for most anyone under the age of 25. they communicate more via text than they do any other way, so that crosses over to everything else. you should see some of the things teenagers will write in an essay.

    This is cause for hiding a FB friend to me.

  • This is why a lot of my HS classmates are hidden on facebook.  I don't know how some of them have jobs if their posts on facebook reflect the way they carry themselves in the real world.
