I apologize for the delay between posts, life has been rather hectic for me lately due to an unwanted guest in my home, rather, on top of my home. I will blog about that sometime this weekend, I promise.
As for now, I feel the need to discuss a phrase that bothers me the more I hear it and must be stopped. You usually hear this term when you are talking to someone on the phone and you are saying goodbye. I don't know if this is a fad that has been around for a few years, or one that is here to stay, but it annoys me each and every time I hear it. When you are getting off the phone and saying your goodbyes, and the person on the other end says "Late". Obviously this is a shortened version of "Later", but why does it need to be shortened, you are only saving yourself one letter and barely a syllable. Is it supposed to be cool and hip, is it meant to be sly and groundbreaking? Why not just say "Later", or "Goodbye", why "Late"? Does this endearing term mean that I am late for something, or are you trying to secretly tell me that you or a loved one is pregnant? If these are the reasons why, then I have lost all faith in our dismal communication skills.........please stop saying "Late", and if you know someone who uses this word as their goodbye, then punch them in the mouth the next time you see them, or point out their retardedness, and then kidnap their family and vow to not give them up until they retire this dumb word from their vocabulary. I am tired, time to get some sleep, Late.....
