...Today my friend Gavin died of heartburn...
OCD reflux, sorry.
Damn, and a missing capital letter...

Expanding on the OCd reflux
Technically, "Can't believe gavisgone" is not a complete sentence. I can't remember the exact syntactical rules, but surely the sentence should be "I can't believe gavisgone."
Then there is the question of whether gavisgone should be one word or 3. Displaying it as "Gav is gone" would make the pun more high brow and would be my preference, while "Gavisgone" still capitalized makes the pun more obvious. <ninja edit to fix silly error>
I've probably made a few mistakes as well, but it was fun to type out and the process allowed me to build up to the following,
@Raindance , ever noticed how the letters in OCD are not in alphabetical order? (yes, I've just used the same line twice within the space of a couple of days, complaints can be registered here)
I can not believe...
I know, i know, only in the world according to Raindance. Nice place though.

@craigb You're quite right! 10/10 and here's a gold star for you
A sentence must have:
a subject (the person performing the action)
a verb (the action)
an object (the 'recipient'of the action)
"Can't believe gavisgone" doesn't have a subject and therefore it is not a sentence.
On the other hand, your words "I can't believe gavisgone." are a sentence, because "I" is the subject.
However, grammatical rules are often overlooked in ads, jokes and social media, where we are "permitted" to write sentences without a subject. I often do that here on the forum e.g. I might say something like, "Love your mod!" There's no subject but it's acceptable to write it like that on the forum.
The abbreiviated manner of writing on social media, including Whatsapp, is making people accustomed to ignoring grammar rules and now, or in the future, they won't even realise that they're breaking them. In a hundred years time it's quite possible that grammar rules as we know them today will have changed and this, of course, is what keeps a language alive.
Been 5 minutes now...can't stop laughing at that!!!
Gosh, what a coincidence! My friends and I were talking about this very subject this afternoon!
EDIT: Give me the choice of being in a drinking group or a smoking group, I'll take the smokers any day. Why? If you're offered a cigarette and you say that you don't smoke, they don't look at you as if you're from another planet.
Same here. Nowadays no one bats an eyelid when I'm offered a glass of wine and then they say more for them. Lol!!!
This is stuck in my head forever, every time I make coffee at the office...
