LOLcats are starting to affect my grammar. Badly. OH NOES! I IZ SPEAK TEH LOLCAT!

If you don't know what a LOLcat is, allow me to acquaint you with them: pictures of cats, overlaid with pithy captions written in what one writer has called "kitty pidgin".

There's something very contagious about this kitty pidgin. Its tentacles have reached deep into my brain, and now I want to speak it. Deliberately flout all the rules of grammar. Not care whether my subjects and verbs are in agreement. Wilfully litter pages with misspelt words. Fly in the face of my normally perfectionist self.

 
Upon closer inspection, I think kitty pidgin might be fairly close to our Malaysian slang, which might explain why I so easily slip into it when I'm talking. Then again, it's not hard to conjugate wrong once you know how to conjugate right. It has been said that it is possible to get cat-speak wrong, which means you must actually know how to alter the words and where to omit others.

Apart from the fact that the cats are normally cute (and I'm not even a cat person!), the captions can be unbelievably apt. Not to mention clever. That's enough to keep me visiting icanhascheezburger.com daily to see what's new in LOLcat World. Even if mah English it iz corrupted!
