Don’t Buy: Tweet-speak
Chuck Grassley is a United States Senator from Iowa. He has been in politics since 1959. He is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Senate Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Finance Committee, of which he has twice been the Chair. He is also a grown man capable of expressing himself like an adult.
Which is why his Twitter is so disheartening:
Pres Obama you got nerve while u sightseeing in Paris to tell us”time to deliver” on health care. We still on skedul/even workinWKEND.
and
Pres Obama while u sightseeing in Paris u said ‘time to delivr on healthcare’ When you are a “hammer” u think evrything is NAIL I’m no NAIL
and
My carbon footprint is abt 25per cent of Al Gore. I’m greener than Al Gore. Is that enuf?
This is not an attack on Grassley. When sentences written by a 75-year-old man with a Masters in Poli-Sci are indistinguishable from sentences written by 13-year-old girls, it’s probably the mode of communication they’re using that’s the problem.

Nah, I’m gonna go ahead and say he’s the problem too…is he aware that “percent” is one word, and that a very useful symbol is readily available if he’s trying to be concise?
