This appeared in one of my mailboxes today. I thought it was funny. No offense intended to anyone. Especially not computer addicted.

 

NEWS BULLETIN: Saying it will improve the education of children who have grown up immersed in computer lingo, the school board in San Jose, Calif., has officially designated computer English, or Geekonics, as a second language.

 

The historic vote on Geekonics a combination of the word geek and the word phonics came just weeks after the Oakland school board recognized black English,

 

or Ebonics, as a distinct language. This entirely reconfigures our parameters, Milton Floppy Macintosh, chairman of Geekonics Unlimited, said after the school board became the first in the nation to recognize Geekonics.

 

No longer are we preformatted for failure, Macintosh said during a celebration that saw many Geekonics backers come dangerously close to smiling. Today, we are rebooting,

 

implementing a program to process the data we need to interface with all units of humanity.

 

Controversial and widely misunderstood, the Geekonics movement was spawned in California's Silicon Valley, where many children have grown up in households headed by computer technicians, programmers, engineers and scientists who have lost ability to speak plain English and have inadvertently passed on their high-tech vernacular to

 

their children.

 

Warning to all computer geeks: Speak English!
