I'd think at university you'd learn the difference between formal and informal communication, but I've learned a lot about the quality of the education system after teaching a few years.

Capitalizing words like that makes it look like you write YouTube video titles.

It isn’t informal communication it’s a travesty.

Don’t even get me started about McDonald’s.

Every time I eat there it’s like I have IBS.

I see what you did there.

It was very clever.

How’s that working out for you, being clever?

Drugs help, but meth and fent only get you so far in life.

I was going to say don't knock it til you've tried it, but meth and fent oof. If you're being serious, sorry you're going through a rough patch. Getting off fent was crazy hard.

It’s not a rough patch, but thanks for your concern.

Impressive going from junkie to teacher!

It’s also been used for hundreds of years, it’s not a post-internet concept.

It might be a youtube title, or it might be quoted Greek or Latin text. Or various other uses in between.
