Yes I felt the same. I'm out of the loop for many things fandom-wise, especially the language. i've just asked someone on my flist what that habit of typing "teh" instead of "the" was and meant...It's something I often see on LJ (teh cool, teh funny etc)and it feels weird and also kinda annoys the teacher in me!

But I'm also known to cringe at the LJ childish speak ("our cool features"!).

I'm old.
