A Fully fledged "I hate it when people use terrible english on forums" thread

[Lindy]

lol internet

[Dixie]

I suppose we'd better have a proper discussion about it...

At least to stop you guys from ranting in a thread and completely derailing EVERYTHING.

I absolutely HATE people who use abbreviations for words or phrases, you know what I mean, people who post and just say "lol" or "ur so gay" or whatever.

Infact, sheerly by principle if I see someone post a serious post, that consists of "ur" as a replacement for "you're/your" or "r" as a replacement for "are". Then I put them on ignore.

Feel free to discuss this further.

You are awesome. You think like me! I HATE that stuff.

It's annoying sometimes. xD But I've gotten kind of used to it...unfortunately. xD

[Agent Proto]

y u do dat?



Of course it's annoying, but it can be fun when it's done jokingly, of course, if the person typing is really typing like so, it's bothersome.

[Primus Inter Pares]

Meh, the thing is to learn to ignore them, and just sit there, feeling quietly superior

[Master Quan]

I feel it may also be pertinent to the discussion if I mention my intense loathing of the widely overused "emoticon" inside a post.

Take Resha back there, Was there anything remotely funny about what she (presumably) said? No. Why the "xD"? In fact, why two "xD"s?

edit:

Also,

I)uud 5t0p 0\/3r34t1/\/6!!!!111 Seriuosly thou, put them instatly on your ignore list just for messing up one word? I do it sometimes and kick myself for it and generally go fix it. But you(I first typed this as a u out of habit) have so much angry within you, release on something that won't bleed and die.

[The Jamie Star Scenario]

lol ur so gay

[Master Quan]

....have so much angry within you, release on something that won't bleed and die....

First of all.....release on something that won't bleed and die?

Second, "Me have um so much angry, me going to um go bang, with angry"



Oh yeah,

thou

Though T-h-o-u-g-h

[Zante]

As long as I can understand what the person is sayng, I don't mind it at all. I don't see why an occasional lol or imho should bother someone.

[Agent Proto]

The way I see it, most people who started off typing AOL-speak will eventually type more properly when they see others typing correctly. It just takes time.

Humaflegawega!!!

[ZeZipster]

...and I hate whiney people who overuse interjections. How ironic?

[Master Quan]

Not really.

That's because Resha is a stupid SPAMMER.
