I really wish I would stop, like, using "like", as like, an interjection like that.

The impression I want to give off is cute girl, composed professional, and sly creator, depending on the circumstances. I don't want to come off as an airhead... yes I know I'm sometimes a literal airhead, but--

It's why I'm particular about typing with proper grammar too. A lot of people I know seem to have done away with that, and to be honest, it makes me sad. It reads to me as depressed, without energy, uncaring about concise communication. It's why I use it myself generally to express talking under my breath.

But having said that, I've seen it expressed that (requiring) proper grammar is a form of class oppression created by schooling, and therefore throwing away such rules is rebellion against that.

And frankly, that strikes me as ridiculous.

I desperately want to be understood. I've rewritten this post half a dozen times because I fear repercussions for saying "why can't some of you just type more maturely?!". Getting someone angry at me over expressing that would be communication breaking down. Maybe it's just because I grew up to the early 00s internet, where proper grammar was actually part of the rules on basically every forum because of the existence of l33t speak.

I already have something of a typing quirk anyway. I type as I would speak - with grammatical conventions to indicate pauses. And maybe that's why I end up like, saying like a bunch. But I'm still wishing I didn't.
