once again, "chat speak"

ParanoidThoughts8 · January 2009

well this isn't necessarily chat speak as much as people who think they sound cool using dumb incorrect grammar. Mi and MY have the same amount of letters, so why even write mi? Yooh has more letters than You, thus making you take more time to write out the word. My list can go on and on forever.

Well yeah, but were not trying to sound dumb by saying meh' and stuff. A lot of people on VP do that, its like a custom ^^ Because were odd, but not because we want to sound cool. and yes, mi and my get on my nervessss

Meh has a double meaning for me, it depends on context. "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) But ya, sometimes chtspk (

), is like, dumb. Mi=me is one of the more pronmiant examples

Mi: Spanish for my ex: Mi madre said Holland could sleep over this weekend :] U: You has three letters. Why just use one? y: why has three letters ur: your has four letters b-lieve well you just took out the e o.o; I can go on and on >_>

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."

Exactly. Point proven. Lmao

If your too lazy to type out a word you don't fit in with the normal people in society. (normal.. hehe)

I personally don't really use it,but what is different about someone using mi,and someone using these made up words that are used on here,they truely think these words are cool,but others have no idea what in world you are talking about,if you don't like it,dont be apart of it with your own slang talk :roll:

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!" 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.

ParanoidThoughts8 · January 2009

Yeah, most of the stuffs pure laziness. and basically, for all of you who are saying "Oh well VP has its own dumb language" Our language is complex, we add letters. But we don't sound like idiots. It takes time to master the VP language, but it doesn't take time to master chat speak, which is for lazy people.

Also, you're supposed to have spaces after punctuation such as commas, periods, exclamation points, ect ect.

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".

Howdy, Stranger!

once again, "chat speak"
