Well, knowing it doesn't mean using it... I still find it annoying even though I understand it perfectly well @_@b
true true i find it annoying too, i mean whats the point of typing like that isnt it easier to type normal?... as the way the word was first formed?
Well, it's a matter of conformity... Some "cool" kids decided that it's super "cool" to type in ways that is beyond comprehension to people outside their clique... Then everyone just go and develop their own clique lingo... @_@b And in time, nobody understand another person due to the heavily altered style...
It's a kool kids klique, KKK for short. Wanna join? Just hang on there on top of these merry embers and you are set -devil
whats the difference you still get the point of what the person is typing so what we get lazy sometimes, but its just retarded if u replacing letters that keep the word the same length
^ LOL, I guess... But personally I am against using shortforms (unless it's like official acronyms and some such)... I am horribly out of date with the net talk short hands... -unsure
omg wtf ppl who rite lik dis r not kool. i rmb dis commercial where dis grl was tlking 2 her mom in txting language.... it iz stoopid.. our language is degradin..... in 200 yrs, we wont b able 2 rite properly... LOL im just fooling around haha but everyting i wanna say is alll in there haha good luck reading =)
Oh, your shorthand isn't THAT bad dann, I just hate it when people do the whole "sound-based" short hand, like "wen" or "tot"... I understand them alright, but doesn't mean I am impressed =_=b And yeah, I don't think we need to wait 200 years, 20 years down the road there will be novels and books written in these clique shorthands out...
Ew...I used to write like that >.< I used to think it was cute, but it just made me look retarded. -_-2 I'm not sure whether this is true or not, but I heard that every year we lose a couple words of our vocabulary--some words just go out of existence because we don't use them anymore . Kinda like in the book 1985.
@Peachy: Well, at least you are not writing like that anymore That's a huge relief... JKS @ItsRobertttt: Join what?? -huh @BR: Yeah, using a fixed few of those shorthand is fine (though I definitely prefer it if people type proper... but I am in no position to say that because I do the whole "LOL" and "WTF" feat too )... As long as you don't start having entire conversations in shorthands... =_=bbb
"people dont type no mo, all dey do iz dis, all dey do iz dis..." lmao sorry, couldnt help it... -lol -blush I agree with most of the statements though, I personally dont really care for when people go overboard with slang and the "creative" spelling.
i definitely agree with how annoying i find people who type like that. but i recently met someone who's worse.. in what way?... he types SMS's like that! i honestly do not understand how he does it, but it sure as hell looks annoying!
