Cryptic Messages

Like most people, I am moderately addicted to Twitter. I know it's a fun little micro-blog used to share sporadic thoughts throughout the day but I don't get the vagueness of some people's tweets. Examples: "OMG, BEST DAY EVER." Or "CAN'T WAIT TIL TOMORROW." Oh! And worse off all, actually addressing someone as "YOU" when you don't actually identify them. Phrases like this mean NOTHING!

Thank you, Khloe, for making my point.

Maybe it's the english-major-writing-nazi in me, but if you have to ask any of the 5 W's (who, what, where, why, & when) then your "thought" is not tweet worthy. Allusions are a different story. I'm not talking about something you merely don't get. I'm talking about an unpolished thought. WHY was it the best day ever, WHY can't you wait until tomorrow, and WHO is "YOU". I know 140 characters isn't much, but if you can't fit a complete thought within such a confined space, then I encourage you to find a different way to express it. Blog about it, for instance. If I were to tweet "F*** cryptic messages" it would cause a bit of confusion amongst my 5 followers. I might get a response like "@NabilaAnn Huh? You got a cryptic msg? From who?" I'd then be forced to tweet back explaining that their is a difference between ambiguity and nonsense all while apologizing for the misunderstanding. If you ask me, it's all just way more trouble than it is worth. Clarity is key people and a little explanation never hurt nobody!
