i-ve given up--

Yesterday I received an email from my mother, the woman who taught me to read, the woman who obsessively drilled me on grammar and punctuation, in which she stated "Our's is better." I consulted my sister, and she agreed that the internet is making everyone stupid. Well, I wan-t a piece of it.

me: lets popularize the overuse of dashes
me: im done with apostrophes
her: well--if you feel we must
me: totally-dont you think-
her: i used to know some kids who overused elipses....that got old fast....but they seemed to think it was reasonable
me: thats fun too-but dashes are snappier
her: totally--im on-the-go!
me: in five years-if all the internet uses shitty dashes-i will feel so vindicated
her: ha-ha
her: totally--
me: two dashes at the end of the sentence indicates enthusiasm--
her: ok--
me: why are you-re dashe-s bigger than mine ----
her: different font?
me: oh right- i felt insecure
her: someone who works at the local paper--said theyre letting alot of people go right now--not doing so much hiring
her: and that i should try NPR
me: wait-ll they see these dashes-
her: i know--
her: wave of the effing future
me: -----
her: --right--
me: good god-----
her: --in front gives it that mexicano flavor--
me: --ole--
me: it-s fun to type--
me: fun like drinking nyquil--
her: i wish i had some nyquil---right now

Then we dis-cussed how dis-appointed we are in our parents- plan to pave the front yard.
