THINGS I'M LEARNIN' TO BE OKAY WITH ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Improper grammar (case in point: the title above is prolly incorrect)

Inappropriate caption (what has a sentence like "Vengeance is of the Lord" got to do with the picture of a supermarket?)

Obscene images (not a single day goes by without a photo-epileptic sufferin' an attack)

Misleadin' info (ever seen the picture of a president at some conference or a catchphrase like "10ways to lose weight", only to click the adjoined link to see a site that talks religion?)

Undecipherable abbrievations (even when the supposed short form has the same number of alphabets, if not more)

No punctuation (more like multiple-complex-compound sentences, paragraphin' not required)
Misinterpreted words (lemme is an aberration for "let me", not "leave me)

Misattributed quotes (sorry Mugabe, you seem to have "said" so many things you're unaware of)

Perfect pictures (oh well...blame it on our phones and other mobile devices)

Self-acclaimed journalists (the media's primary function is to inform, not so? Therefore anybody online can publish news)

Flawless profiles (What people post on social media are highly curated moments, often depictin' an idea of perfection. But on the outside, we know what's up)

There's more on the list o, but the gloom it causes can slow somebody’s bloom!
