The past participle of "wake' is "woken".

"Woke" is the preterite.

Calling oneself "woke" is bad grammar.

Being aware or "hip" is being "woken" or "awoken".

Being "woke" is being illiterate and stupid.

Well, that pretty much describes them doesn't it? "Illiterate and stupid."

I used to, but any more. So sick and tired of having to correct auto miscorrect multiple times to have these used correctly.

Twitter and tweeting just sound too soyish to me. Never used the Twitter.

I always thought that a "tweet" was a sound emitted by an animal with the brain the size of a pea.

Yes, strictly for the birds, but let us not forget the Platonic definition of man: A creature with two legs, featherless.

Huh! It was "Perch Closet" in my e-mail. Here I was thinking it had something to do with a fish tank?

I now see, based on this, that a lot of our problems stem from giving twenty-somethings too much power. They run (ran) companies like Facebook and Twitter. Back in the day, people had to put in their time and work their way up the ladder and by that time they were not in their twenties any longer.

Maybe we should get t-shirts that say, "Wake Up!"
