Some internet language things I really like:
- Phrases like “that’s certainly a thing”, “it’s so shaped”, or “one of the most animals” (is there a name for this?)
- when people write with little to no punctuation like they are just so done
- More specifically, asking questions without punctuation i.e. ‘what’ or ‘why’. It’s like, you want to know but also you are resigned to the answer?
- When people capitalise The Thing for emphasis - particularly if they add a trademark symbol to really drive The Point™ home
- How we use both bold and italic text for emphasis, but they convey it in different ways and I can’t quite explain how
- Responding to things exclusively with punctuation, because sometimes words fail you and all you can say is !!!
