My mom’s California friend is around 80 and writes like a 14-year-old instagram addict - all smilies and “How RU? We’re @ the suchandsuch 2day.” And she has done so for as long as I can remember.

I type exactly like that to my husband on Slack, because why would he care if I capitalize shit or leave out apostrophes? I’m almost 45. My dad typed like that too, because once you’re in your 60's you have better things to worry about than properly punctuating a text.

This stunned me. I have worked in literacy programs with kind, wonderful, strong (and very shamed) adults. They simply have a hard time reading (for myriad reasons), and some of the compensations they have developed are beyond genius.

Right? I felt for this girl and thought when Jane said here’s the follow up it would make me feel even more for her.

100%! Plus I immediately thought where LW lives could play a factor. I live in rural Pennsylvania where by 25 most people are married with a couple kids. Depending on her surrounding culture maybe boyfriend thinks that’s what’s supposed to happen. Or maybe he’s just really excited and doesn’t want her to slip away.…

please run this column from now on

I can’t believe Jane’s rude, snarky response to the 2nd person. “You are a child”? Like, what the fuck even? I’m 35 and sometimes I write quick emails with typos, because who the fuck cares? That doesn’t mean I’m a child. Why is Jane still writing an advice column for Jezebel?

Thank you for being the voice of reason, yet again.

The typo thing=children is unkind. You should not marry this man not because you may be young, based on your typos. You should not marry this man because after hooking up on-again, off-again, fooling around, whatever it was for three years, he can’t know after three months of monogamy if he’ll be satisfied and…

And they say it while minimizing what happened no matter how heinous and this is 2017, imagine their reaction 10 or 20 years ago.

Funny how so many apologists keep parroting on about “why didn’t these women say anything sooner?”, and apart from the fact that there are a million valid reasons that most victims don’t come forward at the time, there’s also the fact that actually a lot of them did and were utterly ignored because no one gave a shit…

You know what, it was funny. If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hot dogs. <3

OMG please tell me that you aren’t referring to her diaphragm and please tell me that this was just a really bad joke omgomgomg this is so cringey.

We have plenty to criticize that doesn’t go after her looks. Be better.

Waitwaitwait— do you mean it’s actually NOT hard out there for a pimp?? I have been LIED to????!!?

Glad you are keeping “indict” in indictmas. I can’t stand when people use the catch all of Happy Felonious Republican Season.

Am I the only one who thinks, if I were to meet Paul Manafort in person, he would smell like booze? The guy strikes me as a closet alcoholic who wears make up to cover up his red nose.

There have always been stories about female producers and assistants on The Bachelor franchise shows being harassed by male contestants. And who are these idiots on the show who don’t know what a vagina is? It’s on the INSIDE.

This reminds me of an old joke:

Take this star and get the hell out of here...
