computer literacy

It is a goal that is unobtainable to at least 85% of the population of the world. It is defined by the other 15% of the population as the meaningful use of a computer without the end result being a fucked up computer and a call to a qualified computer service Technician (aka 1%er).

If you are reading this and your computer is not fucked up, than Congratulations on your achievement of computer literacy. The other 85% is counting on you.

e-literacy

The usage of text-message or e-mail language/acronyms/grammar in a setting unrelated to text messages or e-mail (especially in formal writing).

E-literacy can be demonstrated in two ways:
Spoken aloud: "LOL that is so funny! OMFG!"
Or, in formal writing: "One of my fave ppl 2 hang out w/ is my bff april. We alwyz have a gr8 time cuz she's like a sistr 2 me."
