i ♥ u !@#$%&*

THIS is what is will be talking about before I confuse anybody: http://david-crystal.blogspot.com/2009/01/on-insults-or-not.html

So I looked hard for a blog that would spark some kind of inspiration in me, but failing terribly at it I just decided to at least write about something interesting. As a twenty-first century teenager I must swear at least ten googillion (I know it's not a real number) times a day, because it has simply turned into part of the slang. I must insult my friends in order for them to know I love them, call them &*!(#, (^?$, and $!^% amongst others regularly. Even though it might sound idiotic, I'm far from being the only one, insults don't mean what they used to, now they're just another way to socialize, to the left of shaking hands and right above smiling.
Just like David Crystal said, it can be rather confusing for some most of the time. When you're dealing with someone who doesn't know you, then they might think you actually mean what you said, and that can lead to trouble. It's very a very quirky deal with these friendly insult because you must be careful who you're dealing with. It's all in the TONE.
