It's going to be fun trying to figure out the band's lyrics, once they get around to writing their own.

Shame on all of us for reacting like this when we get a whiff of our own long-lost youthful exuberance. We're cynical old gits trying to be our parents. Good luck to them. I fear they'll turn into us soon enough.

What has long-lost youthful exuberance got to do with illiteracy?

I can cope with the brain dead "weez gonna do bandz stuff n b da graytast" conceptual nonsense, but the complete inability to spell, use grammar, or form a coherent sentence before spraying this stream-of-consciousness sh*t all over t'Internet is just plain irritating.

I was once youthful, exuberant and very literate, all at the same time. It was a great place to be.

Having spent time in close proximity to the education business, about 40 years, these days, a lot of teachers can't spell and don't know their grammar.

Last month, in a class taken by a deputy head the kids were asked to come up with rhyming words. One said "smile" and "crocodile".

The teacher said "don't be silly that doesn't rhyme"!! True story.

I blame league tables for teacher training colleges. Teachers aren't allowed to fail because it's bad for business.

Incidentally, a quick search on the social media shows that 5 Seconds of Summer - the one in the pic - is a huge band. They've apparently been touring the world and have millions of FB likes.

It's emphatically [b]not [/b]the band these kids are trying to form.
[/quote]Isn't it mad how band popularity used to be measured in numbers of records sold. Now it's number of FB likes!

Being of a generous disposition, I'm going to imagine a virtual smiley face after that speeling misteak.

And what are conventions, if not to ignore, then gently poke fun at?

Both sets of statistics were, and are, routinely manipulated.
