once again, "chat speak"

edited January 2009 in Vent
well this isn't necessarily chat speak as much as people who think they sound cool using dumb incorrect grammar.<br><br><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Mi</span> and<span style="font-weight:bold"> MY</span> have the same amount of letters, so why even write mi?<br><span style="font-weight:bold">Yooh</span> has more letters than <span style="font-weight:bold">You</span>, thus making you take more time to write out the word.<br>My list can go on and on forever.

  • Meh has a double meaning for me, it depends on context.<br><br>"I drew meh pony today" is one example where "Meh" means me, and "Meh, its ok" in an example where "Meh" means 'I'm indifferent', or 'no preference' (Or something along those lines)<br><br>But ya, sometimes chtspk (:lol:), is like, dumb. Mi=me is one of the more pronmiant examples

  • My eternal logic for this is "If you're too damned lazy to type out the extra TWO letters in a word, you're too damned lazy to carry on a conversation with much more than your bedroom wall."

  • what i hate more than chatspeak is when people type and don't reread, so they forget complete words out of their sentence. like... "oh i love banner! can you me one?" or add extra words... "oh i love your the banner!"<br><br>everyone does it but those that consistenly do it make it seem like english is their 3rd language. it makes for a funny read though.
    It's just life. You'll get over it.
  • Yeah, most of the stuffs pure laziness.<br><br>and basically, for all of you who are saying<br>"Oh well VP has its own dumb language"<br>Our language is complex, we add letters. But we don't sound like idiots.<br>It takes time to master the VP language, but it doesn't take time to master chat speak, which is for lazy people.

  • Punctuation mess ups don't really bother me too much because I'm pretty bad at that myself. I do try to type with correct punctuation and grammar but sometimes I fail. Netspeak/chatspeak makes me insane LOL. I don't even try to translate it any more I just don't pay attention to people who use it. I'd have to say my biggest pet peeve other than netspeak would be the correct use of "your" and "you're".
