There are certain idiosyncratic speech patterns that identify a person's place of origin or residence. I've lived in New England and fell in love with their accent. When they say "ever" it sounds like "evah." When they want to emphasize the sentiment they raise the volume and it sounds like "EVAH!!"

I wanted to communicate the intensity and the enthusiasm I felt when watching the ad, that's all.

I believe we're all entitled to express ourselves however we choose accepting that we risk activating pet peeves.

I'll continue to take my 13 year old chances. LOL

As it happens, I was visiting a middle school, but the point remains, it's still a silly thing to write.

which you do by mousing over the video to pull up the control bar on the bottom, and clicking on the YouTube logo.

Once on the page, click on the "Share" to get the url and instant facebook/twitter linkage.
