   A quick note to somebody I can excuse.  But if you type whole sentences in an   
   email or newsgroup post, I expect something more adult.   
      
   Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account, all it was full of is   
   friends of friends of friends I've never heard of posting photos of their   
   MacDonalds meal.  Waste of fucking time.  Anyone I actually want to know, I   
   phone, email, or speak to in    
   person.   
      
   As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just "tweets"   
   which aren't related to any conversation.

   Only yanks use the wrong one.  They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.
