Default Fads you DO like!

The Wii: The Wii takes video games, which were already rock-tacular, and flings 'em up past the moon into the "outer freakin' space with aliens" level of sweet. All we need now is NHL 09 for the Wii, and I will never have to leave the house again as long as the credit holds out and I can still get pizza.

Women with nose piercings: I know, I know, lots of people here hate piercings of any kind. I'm not big on the "if it's skin, it needs piercing" school of thought, but a small diamond stud in the nose is extremely attractive.

Text message > email > phone: Maybe it's the years I spent as a help desk support tech, but I am not a big fan of the phone. If I'm talking to someone for more than a couple minutes, my mind tends to wander. Therefore, text messaging is ideal for my short attention span - my thumbs get tired and I have to quit before I get bored, which works out perfectly.

I love text messaging. Funny thing about it is that a few of my friends were into it awhile back and they claimed that they got into it because of going to europe. I rolled my eyes and figured they were just being sheep. Then I went to europe and discovered that it is much cheaper and way easier than phoning. Now I'm an addict. Most of my personal correspondence over the course of the day takes place via text.
I hate the abbreviated words, though. I actually spell out my words.

I do enjoy texts, until it starts becoming an in depth discussion, at which point I have to stop and say.. wait why don't I just call the person? They are extremely useful though for long distance communication!

I'm a big fan of text and picture messaging ... mainly because both are completely free in my cell plan.

Under Armour
Umm, that's about it.

I'm not a very 'fad friendly' person. Tshirt and jeans isn't considered a fad, is it?

Agree with nose piercings.

I have a love hate relationship with texting. I'm lazy and text people, or text people I don't want to call. But I hate the reciprocation. Also having been dumped via text I'm quite bitter towards the whole thing. Fracking Frack frack

Fat chicks in spandex. Lets hope that's one fad that never disappears. That and people who talk real loudly on their cellphones because they are important. Combine the two and we are talking sweet sweet heaven.

Hmm, in typing an above sentence, I'm left with the following question. Which is the correct way of typing said sentence.

A)People who talk real loudly on their cellphones.

B) People who talk really loud on their cellphones.

Where's the grammar police when you need them?
