About LinkBacksTo use “awesome” the way it’s used is to show people’s inability with words. They might as well grunt, throw rocks, and drag their knuckles in the dust. Does anyone anywhere ever decide to make an impression by communicating correctly?

xO - You're post is, like, you know, realy far out, man, you know, I mean its, like, awsome. Is it one of a serie?
I needed that.
"Correctly?" Who's deciding what's correct? People have been railing against slang words for as long as I can remember. I don't think it does much good, though. As a writer, the best you can do is to ban such words from your works-in-progress.

Maybe people are just easier to awe these days. I think my home made burgers last night were awesome. Who are you to say they weren't? Haha.

I'm sure they were saying the same thing about "cool" 50 years ago.

You leave the Yarra out of this.
Haha. I so would've invited you, had you not recently complained about not liking travel. It's a long way to come just for burgers.

I hate it when people write "prolly" instead of "probably"! Arrgh! I guess we all have our pet peeves, LOL.

Sssh. I do it to annoy Joe.
At least -- it came out of the jazz scene in the 1940's, I think, maybe earlier -- I'm guessing it wasn't until the 60's that it really caught on.
Ha ha ha. And it works.

Was the 'your' to annoy me? If so: Mission accomplished.

I sometimes use that word when I'm being semi sarcastic, or when I don't fully mean the true meaning of the word. It is quite enjoyable.
What's the fun in being a circle among other circles? I want to be a square.

You've got to get with the times.
The new hip (and inaccurately used) word is "epic", as in, "That movie was EPIC," and "These eggs are EPIC," and "Did you see that guy fall down? EPIC fail."
"Awesome" is so two years ago.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
