Tweet tweet

I love Twitter. It's so quick and easy to use. You only get 140 characters so it can be quite a challenge to fit what you want in. I have been known to continue on a thought on subsequent tweets. Well, like my bio says, when something's funny, life is too short not to laugh at it.

I also like reading tweets. I like the people I follow. Some are people I know, most are 'celebs'. I am in charge of who I follow. I've been following Alan Sugar for a while. Mostly because there was a bet he had with Piers Morgan, but his tweets became so full of hate I had to stop. One of my favourite celebs is Dave Gorman, he is brilliantly clever. I could probably stop following both Barack Obama and Stephen Fry, but that might be rude because both the President of the USA and the President of Twitter follow me. Awk-ward.

Of late I have noticed myself rolling my eyes at two particular kinds of tweet and I think here is a safe place to rant about them. I don't know why, but I suppose writing it on Twitter might be a little bit rude. (Please don't be offended if I follow you on Twitter and these are something you have done. This has taken months of build up.)

1. Something + something = something else.
Yawn. If you're going to get mathematical at least make it a more complex sum than something a P2 would do. You could subtract something. Or for real A Level maths tweets why not introduce a bit of < or >? Or how's about a ≠. Go on, if you're a P2 maths tweeter, branch out and put a little thought into your maths based tweets.

2. Something something. That is all.
You just wasted 12 whole characters telling me 'that is all' when one full stop already told me that was the end of your thought.

And just while I'm ranting, can we get some sort of ruling on smileys that go the wrong way. The eyes should clearly be first, thus ;) I think people who do the smiley part first s: should have their face made to stay that way.
