Down into the cess-laden twit-pit we go! Hopefully Twitter can provide some much needed context on the whole Billy Bob / Jian flap that has taken the world by storm …
As Don, Peter and Shelagh always used to say, “happy Thursday!”
Wow. Brave twittering, Franca. I heard Jian beat the shit out of the last person who mentioned his music career. 
Holy crap. Somebody give this obviously beleaguered CBC employee an EAP fridge magnet, quick! 
Dude, I just tuned in to 99.1 right now, but I’m not hearing the interview. Do you have an audience relations dept. that I can send a bitchy e-mail to?Â
Uhhuh, the most painful truncation of the archaic english word ‘interview’ u’ll vr reed awn-l1ne! Buddy, didn’t you study 1984 in grade 10 English?Â
RRRGHG!!!! I’ll tell you what I’m scratching my head about – the name of the fucking network that this interview aired on! Especially after your reporters did that axe-job on our ‘luxurious’ indoor smoking rooms. Don’t make me hit CAPS LOCK, Astral Media.
p.s. – We know how many ‘GPs’ and Hammy Hamsters got killed flying around in that miniature airplane under those hot studio lights. But that’s another story …Â 
… and then an astute Twitterian uttered the word PWNED and all was right in the world again. Remember, ill luck may befall if you don’t retweet this seven times!
Apologies to the admittedly much funnier Anonymous auter of past ‘twit-tiques’

Nope. Not a journalist. Never been one. Just been reading their internal correspondence every day for 15 years or so.
It’s just a general short form, like “blog”, or “memo”
pwned man, the LART’s in your court.
All your contractions are belong to us.
Then again, perhaps you can afford one of those fancy-shmancy PDA’s with a qwerty keyboard. If you needed 5 clicks to get to the letter “G” you might use obvious contractions.
And my comment was funny, dammit.
And “invu.”may not be L33T bit it is certainly L33T-Lite. Everybody uses it, even CanWestGlobeMediaAstralCommunicatonsCorusQuebeccorCorps.
No, ‘everybody’ does not use it. Journalists (like you I gather), use it — to make lay people feel stupid apparently.
Which is fine, I guess, as the head of the pin gets smaller and smaller for you folks.
We’ve actually been seeding our posts and comments here with intentional grammar and spelling mistakes, for a rebranding of this blog from ‘Teamakers’ to ‘Annexpedants’.
Look that one up in your CP style guide.
The EAP can’t afford fridge magnets anymore.We recommend chewing up used greens to a gummy paste suitable for adhesion. The toner has a calming effect.
