kool?!?!?!

okay, here is a tad bit of a rant, so pardon me.

is there one word that just drives you nuts? and its not the word itself, but the way people spell it. well i have one. and its

"KOOL", or even worse. . . "KEWL".

i dont understand it, i dont see the point. you may ask, "why, leah? why does this bug you so much?" well, i have an answer. Because, first of all when i see this i think of 7th grade girls talking on AIM. its acceptable for them. but once you pass that point in life, its done. over. fin.

to type "kool" and "cool", and even the horrid "kewl", you are hitting the same amount of keys on your keyboard, its not a shortcut. if it were, it might make a little more sense. and sure the 'k' is closer to the 'o' and 'l' keys, but if thats why then that just sad.

i know jp is going to gonna hate on me because im uptight about spelling, but i cant help it. it drives me crazy. if you were to type say. . . idk instead of i dont know. at least that makes sense, its comprehendable because, well ITS SHORTER. forgive me, please if i've offended any "kool" kids, but there must be some out there with me who feel this pain, who are extremely vexed by such silliness?!

if you are a sayer of "kool", please shed some light on me. why, oh why? is there ANY explanation?

and im. . . spent.

Secretly, my brother still (at 20 years of age) uses words like "tite", "rite", "nite", and "kool" in both text messages and Facebook wall posts.

I feel your pain, ma'am. I feel your pain.

Actually, it's an online gaming term.
The word kool (or kewl) is used to express ones feelings towards something else. As most online games use text for chatting, it's hard to express emotion in your sentances. The word kool, shows a greater appreciation for something than the word cool. (Much like kewl). However, using these words on a regular basis does not make you cool.

THAT is the reason.
