TL; DR

Of all acronyms on the internet, I think this one pisses me off the most: Too Long; Didn't Read.

It's generally followed by a plea for the author to give a shorter version. Drives me up a wall. If you can't be arsed to read the damn thing, why the fuck should I give two shits that you didn't read it. And the gall to demand that I condense my thoughts down into a cliff notes version for the ADD impaired? Fuck off. I picked my words carefully to best express myself. You have two choices: Read it, or ignore it. There isn't an option C where I explain things to you like a 3rd grader.

I'd keep going but there is a chance you wouldn't be able to stay focused long enough to read my closing remark:

Fuck off.

The bigger question in my mind is: "but is that the correct use of a semicolon"? Semicolons are sadly abused, even if used to deprive the author of the satisfaction of full comprehension I applaud the use if only as a vehicle for advertising the lowly, put-upon semicolon.

Another sign of our short-attention-span society...*sigh*

So that's what "tl;dr" means. Glad I finally know why people always post that after I pour my heart out... :-\
