Thread: Stupid people and their retarded English. Die die die!!!

Maybe that's how they type on teleprompters to save space on the screen.

I dunno man but... I'm mostly concerned about the age and education of the person and how it can't possibly correspond with that kind of writing. Ugghhh I just DON'T understand.

You missed a fucking comma, nazi.

Fucking try to understand the thread.

Oh lawdee da.

I dunno, the excerpt seemed like a personal communication, not prose for general consumption. If the two parties are comfortable with comminicating in that manner, then I don't see a problem.

It was colloquial. Deal with it.

Ugh, I hate stupid crap like that. I think that people that write like that anywhere other than chat rooms or text should be shot in the ass. Screw Korea, come teach english here

I totally agree with you. There's just no excuse for typing like that. Unless it b 4 teh lulz, n wen mockin ppl who type that way, then it's funny; otherwise, it's just plain retarded.

And then you get the people that add 60 letters to each word. Or change the spelling.

Me = miiii
you = yooouuuuuuuu
happy = happeh

What they fuck?

Yeah it's a problem because of all those things put together. Okay look, I'm okay with the following, because as the lovely Sindred said, it's just colloquial:

"where r u going"
"i'm going 2 the store b4 heading home"

That I can understand because I am NOT a nazi. But that little paragraph of hers makes her sound like a brain damaged pre-teen. All of this is important for that reason. If you want to be taken seriously, then you just cannot write like that. Let's be realistic here.

In general I have a very negative view of people that I've come to call the "youtube" crowd, because it's on youtube that I encounter the most egregious grammatical and spelling errs. It's not that I look for every spelling or grammar mistake, I make enough of them myself. My problem is with the people who don't even try. They go out of their way at every opportunity to use an acronym (u, 2, b4, etc). People exactly like the one who made that post.

I'm shocked by the number of high schoolers and college students who fall into this babble. The only real excuse is if English isn't their first language. Most of the time they type like a moron, seemingly, because its trendy. I remember in eighth grade whenever I spelled my words out on AIM the other person would ALWAYS ask me why I wrote things out. They made me feel like an idiot and called me names for doing it. Talk about retarded, eh?

Anyway the point of this is that I agree with you.
