Short post on the English language

I'm a bit of a linguistic enthusiast geek so these particular gems tickled me a bit.

Tumbled blog was tweeted and friendfed
The other day I said on Twitter "…blog was tumbled then tweeted before friendfed back to twitter."

My friend Brandon replied to me and said, "few yrs ago this would have sounded like foreign lang".

Big LOL that one. See previous entry for reference

Brand new classic

Brother: Boo my old 20gb iPod is dead

Me: HD or battery? take it to AppleStore, see if you can get them to replace it for a small fee. May get a brand new classic.
