Wow. Talk about hard to read. You shouldn't even be posting in a thread against that kind of typing.

Well, those don't really count because they are common abbreviations.

*edit* Wow, how stupid. I just noticed the his/her name is aimfan.

It wz tunz o buks n teh ntrn3tz. I r soooooooooo gld me gt it omg oh em geee exclaimation mark shift plus wun" (off the top of my head). People really need to figure out that they don't look smart or cool by typing like that. Sure, it may take a while, or it may only get done one person at a time, but at least it will help clean up the overall look of these forums, if not many forums.

I was an AOL junkie back when everyone still had Dialup, but I don't remember anyone using text talk online until several years later (possibly when text messaging became more popular). I swear that I didn't use shorthand because nobody else did, and we wrote how people were supposed to write.

Tibs doesn't care how classy an insult is; he'll just throw it out there.

ckj846 · 08-4-2007, 12:13 PM

Text talking actually started out of the abbreviations I believe. First it was "lol" and "brb" and then people began to shorten everything else. I used to type with shorthand because I took notes like that in class since it was much quicker and more efficient. But I gradually stopped once I realized that even though I may be able to understand my "txt tlk" gibberish, others may not so easily.

O_o

NarutoFoxDemon · 08-4-2007, 12:18 PM

It did, but we are trying to make it so people will say things like "Laugh Out Loud", or "Be Right Back".

Well, I know for fact I'm younger than you (if that's you in your avatar), so I don't know much about what things used to be like. But since I'm a frequent computer user, I have a basic, if not thorough, understanding of what's going on now.

jewpinthethird · 08-4-2007, 12:24 PM

lulz, it's a corruption of L-O-L

Also, I never used txtspk in my decade of interneting.

I completely agree with this movement. Add me to the supporting list.

"Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" anyone? (What's funny is that Firefox thinks "Fr" and "Th" are spelled correctly...Friday and Thursday I guess?)

SAVE THE VOWELS! As the GBin would say, 1000% YES! I'm totally behind this movement.

As a former "txt tlkr" myself (from RuneScape a few years ago...ugh), I simply have to try and stop others from making the same mistake I did.

At least it's an alternative to no vowels.

Engler · 08-4-2007, 01:01 PM

No. In a way, talking in 1337 is way worse.

There was no reason for the translation, I read it perfectly the first time through in a matter of seconds.

Yeah. Most people can. But I had to for the meek, who seem to complain that they can't read it.

So, there was a reason.

And it was supposed to be a side by side comparison. I guess it didn't work. Oh well.

~HentaiXXX~ · 08-4-2007, 01:28 PM

No, only I matter! Bahahaha, I'm so selfish! X3

Engler · 08-4-2007, 01:52 PM

One more thing: Why the hell do people say "are" instead of "our"? It's just plain stupid.

~HentaiXXX~ · 08-4-2007, 01:54 PM

Yea that bugs me sometimes, not too much though.
