    Default I said Whut?

    So boredom set in and I happened to check through old posts I had made way back when to see what the cool things were back in the day and after reading some of my posts all I can say is I was such a twat when I was 13. I was misspelling every other word, grammar was apparently optional for me, and made up words were abundant.

    I'm just glad they did a prune way back when. I shudder to think what my first posts consisted of.


    So TOPIC! Over the ages how has your posting whether it be here, another forums, or just some form of a blog, or even written journals, etc changed as your grew up.

    My own grammar and spelling has always been very good ever since I started using the Internet. Humour-wise I've been the same for many years, perhaps a lot less crude than I used to be and a lot more subversive and strange. O, and I've steadily grown increasingly bitter and grumpy.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Before I got rid of my old computer I went through like... MSN messenger histories from when I was 16 or 17 and yeah I was the stereotypical internet noob.

    Some of my old posts I find slightly embarrassing, but I suppose I'm a fairly different person now than I was x amount of years ago. I think my spelling and grammar is pretty consistent and that my humour and vocabulary may have improved marginally since I first joined.

    I'd have to go back to old Nysnc message boards to be able to decide whether it got better or not.

    I started posting on EoFF when I was 12. I think that explains it all.

    Do you want an example? I will give you an example, because if I don't, Paul will give you more embarrassing examples. :kaocry2:

    I cannot contribute to this thread. I was literate from the womb onwards.

    I had enthusiasm, once. Well, I still have a little.

    It hasn't. Now I've moved from the "I need to make a niche for myself" phase to the "stfu n00b go die for not understanding this" phase. My gaming grammar hasn't improved at all, either, except with the addition of new English vocabulary.

    Fortunately, I still have enthusiasm. Just exactly where that effort goes has changed.

    I used to "lol" a lot when I first started using the intarwebs.

    As for me, there is only a few differences. My grammar has never changed really, but I don't use 'lol' anymore.

    Otherwise, I'm less boring, less conservative, and more mean-spirited.

    I used excessively profanity. Many of the words that were not filtered at the time are now. I imagine some of my old posts look funny because of that.

    I argued more. I wasn't as nice. I was still just as gramatically correct I think (with the exception of a few errors once in a while, but hey, whatever). I had alot more to say when I was younger but whatever I said was usually pointless stuff that made sense to nobody.
