Feeling those sensational emotions

selenakAllow me to indulge my inner cranky old woman for a moment, at the expense of internet linguistics.
1.) I do not have "feels", I have feelings, because I don't regard three additional letters as that much of a burden.
2.) I most definitely do not have "all the feel(ing)s" about any subject, be they a character, actor, vid, writer, book, film, tv show, song, or the cat who is eyeing me right now as if to dispute this claim. Considering the rich human emotional spectrum, this particular hyperbole strikes me as both empty and lazy, vocabulary wise.
3.) The term "moar" for "more" is just as irritating, despite offering the same number of letters as the original word. English isn't my native language, which means I mentally have to translate every word I write and read in it anyway. I refuse to memorize different ways to spell a word in it.
And now excuse me while I indulge a variety of feelings watching various vids from the recent con, in as much as they're available in my country because so far GEMA has struck to prohibit half of those I tried being shown on YouTube.
