Ditto! It is annoying when people talk like that

Dutabi84 · 06-18-2004, 03:59 PM

No way. If anything, stuff like "ppl", "u", and especially "lol", aren't used nearly enough. I'd like to see more bastardizations of the English language on the internet.

I also find it annoying. It also annoys me when people can't spell basic words right and use proper grammer.

On message boards and stuff, I think you should use proper English. On AIM though or in chatrooms, I shorten 'you' to 'u' and 'probably' to 'probly'. I also dont use proper grammar in IMs and such, but whatever. I dont have the patience when Im talking to like, 74878923 people (or 2 -.-), and Im just used to it. Though I dont use some of the examples you guys posted (wud, ez, wut, etc...) thats just annoying.

Nah, I meant when people say lol every single time they breathe. Then it gets annoying. Also, the single most annoying this is 'u'. Jesus Christ, it takes like half a second to type out two more letters....it's not that hard people.

barwars · 06-18-2004, 04:19 PM

The worst is when people do it.... but it doesn't mean they type less!!

Like....

boi - boy
gurl - girl

I also HATE the word "rox"

Georgia's on my Mind · 06-18-2004, 04:21 PM

i dont caareee

It annoys me the most when I can't understand what the hell the person is writing.

I'm guilty of overusing "lol." I hated that term when I first found out what it meant, but then I started to use it to ward off people (not on this board) who were taking everything I typed literally...and I'm even guilty of having done that.

Mrs. Ducky · 06-18-2004, 04:28 PM

I absolutley hate that. My friends (actually I can't stand them) think they're so cool typing like that when it really makes them sound stupid.
