Totes... totally
Perf... perfect
Presh... precious
Offish... official
Unoffish... unofficial
Spesh... special

Apprope... appropriate
Inapprope... inappropriate
Adorbs... adorable
Uggo... ugly




I wish I could think of more right now, but I'm totes exhaust.
Here's a totes catchy Brit song, which goes perf with this post, in my pers opin.

Exclamation Points

It hit me while texting that the usage of exclamation points can truly, truly confuse someone about your tone.


For example:

Hello - plain, can be bored... open for interpretation
Hello! - pleasant greeting
Hello!!!!! - overly excited, desperate, impatient

Ahhh - understanding, profound, collected
Ahhh! - more excited about understanding, still collected
Ahhh!!!!! - alarming, frustrated, impatient

Looking forward to it - professional, smooth
Looking forward to it! - still smooth, demonstrates a note of positivity but still professional
Looking forward to it!!!!! - desperate, impatient

Note to self, watch my exclamation point usage.
