Day 22: A Rant

Annoying Pinterest captions and hashtags

I love pinterest, but the captions that people sometimes write really bug the heck out of me.  Examples include:  "Pin now, read later" and bad grammar or spelling.  I know that I am not perfect with writing and grammar, but so many of those captions really just make me mad.  And then there's the self-promotion for blogs.  It honestly drives me crazy when people pin their own stuff, from their own blog.  I know they're trying to market their blog and get an audience going, but I feel like it would be more meaningful if somebody else did it for them.  Oh, and don't even get me started on hashtags.  Since when has # before a sentence ever signified something super important or meaningful?  NEVER!  If it's important, you use a bold print or underline it.  Those hashtags drive me crazy.  I have facebook friends that use them, and I really just try to ignore it, because I like those friends of mine, but I really hate hashtags.  Yuck.  I feel like it's just another way to demean our English language.  Blah.
