Does anyone else HATE this? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bad spelling and poor grammar online?
e.g todayiwent to the shoppingmall and bought anewtv.
No spacing Makes it very hard to read.

And spelling like this:
WAT-What
BAK-Back
REKON-Reckon
STIK-Stick
SUMFIN-Something
TRYNA-Trying
LYKE-Like (why not just put the I rather than the Y,geez!)
SUM1-Someone
PPL-People
SHUD-Should

I could go on forever,i know its shorthand or its "supposed" to be,but its just crappy,in my opinion.Half the time you can hardly decipher the message.

I also really hate it when people TyPe LiKe tHiS,BeCAusE iTs a HEaDAcHe tO rEaD.

Ok,just got that off my chest...

Yeah, but I just live with it.

Mijada · 02-04-2005, 04:03 PM

It gets annoying at times

Dutabi84 · 02-04-2005, 04:08 PM

It's frustrating. It's a silly thing to let bother you, but it gets very excessive. "2morrow" is NOT a word...mumble..grumble...

Boy Howdy, do I ever! Hey another pet peve is News Graphics that are mis-spelled...This Morning's pre-dawn news at WCSC-TV 5 had a graphic up about the items stolen from an unmarked police vehicle that included "40 Calibur Amunition"...yo, get a spell check on that Chyron, willya!!!

TRYNA is the only that really bothers me.

I'm one of those grammar freaks who stake out menus just to find mistakes (I know- I live in the wild zone). Grammar mistakes really bother me, both on-line and on paper. A type is one thing, but making up new words- that should not be allowed! And "ain't" is NOT a word in the English language (grr!).

It means "trying." Apparently it's supposed to sound like "trying to." Who comes up with these?

Belair · 02-04-2005, 05:11 PM

TRYNA means 'trying to',not just trying.
e.g I'm Tryna figure out something.

x3 Taylor x3 · 02-04-2005, 05:14 PM

Something really annoys me that some of my friends do is that they use "ur". It's supposed to mean "you are" right? I mean it's annoying enough when they say it when it actually sort of makes since like "ur smart" or something, but what really mad is when someone uses it like "Im coming over to ur house" which basically means you are house....

Wow, that was confusing.

Belair · 02-04-2005, 05:54 PM

Uh-Huh,i hate UR as well.
