If there is one thing I don’t understand in today’s modern-day society: it’s hashtags. Why do people use these? To me, they’re just like polite swear words, here’s why.

1.People use them to seem cool and they fail at it.
2.Many people are using them pointlessly.
3.When you use a hashtag you have to stick all of your words together and not use a space bar, so you’re just worsening your grammar (something everyone seems to be doing as well).

Here’s my question: what do you get from using hashtags? I mean, it’s not cool and you’re getting dumber by the character (if you didn’t know what I mean by ‘character in this case it means ‘a word, number, punctuation mark, or space written/typed somewhere).

Now let’s start with word crimes. I mean this in every polite way possible but EVERYONE IS FORGETTING ABOUT CORRECT GRAMMAR AND IT’S ALL SOCIAL MEDIA’S FAULT! Why do you ask? Well, on Twitter and Instagram there is only a limited amount of characters you can use, and in this case people start shortening their words and are using numbers and/or letters to represent a word. Examples:’Wt R U doing 2day?’ ‘Im @ schol’ ‘Gtg’ ‘I luv U’.
Can someone please explain to me why everyone is forgetting how to write properly? It doesn’t take that much of an effort to finish writing one word you know, and in my case it takes more effort to spell it incorrectly!
I’m also going to continue with bad punctuation now. “It’s”should only be used when you are shortening the words “It is” and is supposed to be used as “It’s pouring rain outside,” not as “The dog lost it’s bone.”. Correction: “The dog lost its bone.” you are supposed to use “Its” in that case because the head belongs to the dog and “Its” is supposed to be used possessively. You have no idea how many times I have seen people mistake these two different words for each other.

That’s it for today guys. I hope you actually learned from people’s mistakes in this post, and I hope you don’t make any yourselves. If you want to have a laugh and learn about word crimes and have a laugh at the same time, look up Word Crimes on Youtube by “Weird Al” Yankovic. It’s a Blurred Lines parody and I think it’s really funny. See you soon!
