These Italian liners, you know, they couldn’t compete for speed, so they built these floating art palaces instead. She [the Antonia Graza] was reported missing on the 21st May 1962 off the coast of Labrador. Funny thing is, there was no distress signal, no contact. She just disappeared. She was gone. So ever since that day every captain and his mother has been looking for her, hoping she hasn’t gone down.

They’re all reactions! One thing begets the next. A man has a weakness, he’s flawed. That flaw leads him to guilt. The guilt leads him to shame. The shame he compensates with pride and vanity. And when pride fails, despair takes over and they all lead to his destruction. It will become his fate… Something’s gotta stop the flow. Ink (2009) | dir. Jamin Winans

^^ Also, Boomers, The written format is much more condusive for Millinnials because we actually know how to put expressions- facial and tonal -into what we write. To the point the linguists actually study our newfangled way of communicating because it is just as complex and nuanced as actual, face-to-face communication. We don’t follow old-fashioned grammar anymore because the old-fashioned grammar fails to meet our current communication needs. Old-fashioned grammar is too sterile to actually communicate anymore. It’s almost like a scientist trying to communicate with a layman. It just wont translate. Old grammar is great for informing, but horrible for talking and chatting like we do these days. So, we have nuances based on caps, alternate caps, how many periods or commas or spaces or anything we used to imply the correct tone.
