Thx for the Memories...

It bothers me when people write "thx," instead of "thanks." What, are you appreciative of something someone did, but not thankful enough to type/write three extra letters? Come on people - "thx" is not a word (but "thanks" is)! Hell, it doesn't even have a vowel (not even that bastard vowel - y). Are we as a people so lazy that we can not even give a full effort to thank someone? How grateful can we actually be? It's not like those extra three key strokes will kill us, but they may let the person who we are thxing that we actually appreciate their efforts, enough to type a full six letters.

Lazy bastards.

Why is it that Y is sometimes a vowel? Is it really the illegitimate child of a vowel and a consonant? Is it a hybrid, or a halfbreed? Does it's dual status make it better than the other letters because of it's versatility, or does it not fit in with either crowd due to it's failure to be 100% committed to either group. I think if we, as a people, can help answer the "Y"-questions, we can better improve race relations.
