These would be funnier if they weren't constructed for exactly this purpose.

After being a victim of "Auto-Correct" abuse my whole 'digital' life... I figured it was time to seek help... seek those who have suffered the same demands of perfection in their grammar and have been oppressed. I applaud those of you who have spoken out!!! I embrace those of you who have risen up!!!! I encourage you all to continue using inadequate grammar in your texts and make the creators of "Auto-Correct" aware that we will NOT go down without a fight!!! We WILL continue to use abbreviations, idioms, shorthand, etc. and there is NOTHING they can do about it!!!! WHO IS WITH ME?!?!?!?!?! (WAR CRY)

Oh, god, one should not read these while recovering from a chest cold. I laughed so hard and then thought I was going to cough up my lungs.

Oh, well, if they've been on the Ellen show, then you know they're real. She's the Walter Cronkite of our time.
