Twenty Something (2011)
“At the end of April, Lucy announced that she was pregnant. At the end of May, I discovered that Rick and Lucy were an item. And now, at the end of June, I discover that Rick and Lucy are so much of an item that they’re planning to get married.
I have to hand it to the two of them: they’ve got a unique sense of dramatic timing.
Although the content of Rick’s text yesterday was understandably surprising, the tone was familiar enough. If Rick wanted to tell his best mate that he was planning on ma...rrying his ex-girlfriend, it would strike him as only natural to use an illiterate text full of ‘innits’ and smiley faces. In fact, ‘innit’ was just about the only thing he’d spelled out in full. I mean, what kind of word does he think ‘M8’ is? And ‘luv’? Where’s the love in that? With predictive text messaging there’s really no excuse for these horrors. ‘Cu’, ‘wld’ and ‘cld’ are just about OK. Anything else is right out.
But I digress. I wanted to shoot the messenger, not the message.MoreLess
