a mask for stupidity or a way of pretending to be stupid because of that strange 11 year old mentality that saying or doing anything worthwhile is for OMGLOSERSLOL.
Speaking as one who lives in fear and trepidation of being made to look stupid
(which is, admittedly, very easy!) I have to say I find that really sad. Spelling correctly is such an easy and yet effective way to at least appear as if you know what you're on about, especially when communicating on the interweb given the wealth of tools at one's fingertips.

I couldn't agree more
and worse still is that it's not limited to horribly insecure AOLers or even the net.
point taken, I just liked the idea of him not being under age for drinking whilst under parental supervision, and him also admitting he's slightly stoned. sure beats family games of 'operation' and 'monopoly' I guess...

Hehehe, I think I'd probably be amused by it too if my family was remotely normal
Watching your mum and older sister get my hamster stoned for fun when you're 14 and not even blinking kinda desensitizes you. The poor hamster was terminally confused. Kept trying to climb vertical surfaces and was walking at funny angles.
during student days I used to work in a call centre as a part time 'studenty job'...
one of the girls I worked with - the lovely annabelle - came in distraught one saturday morning and cried for ages. After quizzing her and paying for endless cups of tea, she eventually admitted that her younger brother and his mates had nicked her hamster, strapped it into his remote control airplane and took it for a spin, unfortunately in the mirth this must have created he lost control, and it smashed into a tree...
although obviously sensitive to her predicament at the time, when I got back home I went into fits of uncontrollable laughter...
