Correct Grammar

It used to be popular for people to use shorthand during text messages like "b4" and "gr8." While some shorthand is still used, most of the time people will actually write out the words that they're trying to say. They know that grammar and spelling are incredibly important. Nowadays, anyone who texts like they're illiterate is going to have a hard time holding a conversation.

Fandom Shirts

In the past, people would wear their jerseys with pride. They had no problem showing off their love of The Rangers, but they would hesitate to wear shirts with pictures of their favorite TV characters. However, with the help of sites like Red Bubble, fandom shirts and jackets are everywhere. When you wear a shirt that depicts a show you like, you won't be criticized. In fact, it'll actually help you make friends with common interests.

3

Comic Books

In the past, only the "weird" kids read comic books and dressed up for Comic Con. However, the popularity of the convention has blown up over the last few years. Now, anyone with a ticket to Comic Con and an awesome cosplay is complimented by everyone they see. Plus, graphic novels have been turned into some of the greatest television shows and movies of all time. I mean, look at The Walking Dead.

Video Games

There are video games out there for every type of person. There are shooting games, simulation games, and story-based games. Whether you enjoy violence or building towns, there's something out there for you to play.

5

Reading

It doesn't matter what type of books you like to read, because all books are considered hip now. If you like action and adventure, Game of Thrones is popular. If you like mysteries, Gone Girl was on the best seller's list. If you like erotica, even novels like 50 Shades of Grey had their time in the sun.

Famous Quotes

Being Intelligent

Remember when Lindsay Lohan pretended that she didn't know math in Mean Girls? In the past, some women believed that they had to act clueless in order to appear attractive. However, now we all know that intelligent women are the sexiest people in the world.

Nerdy Clothes

Urkel has always been the definition of uncool. He had the nerd look going on, complete with suspenders, high waisted pants, and an oversized pair of glasses. However, nowadays, all of those fashion choices are in style. Most of us own high waisted skirts that show off our gorgeous legs. Suspenders are worn by the most fashionable celebrities. And even people with perfect eyesight will wear glasses as a fashion statement. Nerdy clothes have become sexy.

You should feel free to embrace whatever hobbies you're interested in, because what's "cool" changes by the second. What's the "nerdiest" thing that you love to do?

Another "I'm not like most girls I'm a nerd hahaha" post. Like cool, congratulations on being a "nerdy gamer girl", and congratulations on pointing out your hobbies and interests every chance you get so everyone knows how quirky you are.

I think the primary reason people text abbreviations such as b4 and gr8 is simply that it's much more time-consuming to type with your finger or a stylus than with a keyboard!

I agree, I hate it when people text using weird short forms!

Not only do I have no idea what the person said below, but I personally hate it how girls in my school wear nerdy glasses and stuff like that and claim their 'nerdy gamer girls' and their all of a sudden attractive. But when I wear real glasses full time, I'm judged for being really visually impaired . I just don't understand. When I wear my fandom merch, I'm a weirdo or a freak, but when they say I like ___, then all of a sudden, they're cute and geeky. WHY SO MUCH PREJUDICE?

That eould b really stupid if this things r not attractive.

I hate when girls make it an effort to be "nerdy." I'm a book nerd, I read every chance I can get, but I don't go around saying it, people just know I am.

I love Marvel :)

I personally dislike shorthand texts... It comes off as very illiterate to me!! When guys text me with kno "know" in which he's using the wrong spelling of "No" is very irritating and it's a complete turn off. I prefer to be able to have a intellectual conversation with whomever I'm speaking too via text, phone or in person.. Oppose of trying to figure out or assume what you're saying...

Yeah, it's better to pretend to be a nerd than being yourself. Congratulations, I'm ashamed of my gender!

Ummm. Reading erotic literature is not nerdy O_o
