    I adhere to a rule where "cute" refers solely to me.
    All others referred to as cute, yes even hello kitty, is null and void.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    I rarely use the word cute; not because I have bigger and more impressive words to say instead, simply because I have no reason to use cute or any synonyms of it.

    'Nice', however, I use far too much.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    I know English Literature students at my university who often use "text speak" to communicate, i.e. r u gnna b @ cafe 4 t? Orwell was semi-right about Newspeak; the only difference being rather than it being forced on us we made it up and used it under our own power.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    That's what you think

    as for calming down no I will not it's heinous. You just don't buy products which advertise themselves in that manner. If they can't be arsed to write a whole word out you know they're not going to be arsed to make it a decent product. you'll be paying for >=(
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    Anyone who has ever spoken to me one on one can attest to the fact that I use a very personalised vocabulary. Not that I specifically set out to use words that are not particularly prominent or anything like that, I just use words I like.

    smurf off smurf off smurf offffff! It's fine on the net, in text messages, in emails! But to see stuff like that in malls? On glossy brochures? I retch. They all think they can open themselves to a younger market by sounding like that but hey smurf OFF >=(
