Twitter Novelty Account of the Day: @English50Cent

To call rapper (and weight-loss king) 50 Cent’s Twitter feed intelligible is generous. Fortunately, an intrepid soul is cleaning it up.

Billing itself as “a translation service for English-speaking 50cent fans,” @English50Cent massages 50’s words into proper grammatical form, helpfully retweeting the original for comparison. For example, 50’s missive:

Depression is a luxury I can’t afford so I see haters and just keep on working its cool I’m not here by accident s***

Becomes:

I disavow mental illness. And the anthropic principle. Negative people spur me on. Faeces.

Gimmicky, but brilliant. Follow along @English50Cent.
