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

Lol, the only rezon i will eccept tat is wen it b 4 da lulz.


Other than that, I'd rather drink Dran-o before reading that again.

I try to write with proper spelling and grammer, but often incorporate slang into it the way I would talk in real life. Things like:
-I'mma go now
-You gonna do it?
-Aight

I say I'ma and gonna..but not 1337.

Infact, 1337 gets downgraded: 1336.

I never replace letters with numbers and symbols. Unless I'm using it to illustrate a point.

Am I the only one who doesn't see a problem with this?

Sure i see the errors and mistakes, but its just a form of communication.

Oh well.
Perhaps i don't value words as much as most people seem to...

Personally, when someone can't be bothered to write properly, I can't be bothered to read it.

yeaz welz u rnt gon get far wif dat atitood.

I personally do not write in this form usually. I find it amusing to post this way on a thread where people complaining about it.

Is it more intelligent to use more keystrokes to convey the same message? Perhaps those of us who type full words on the internet are being left behind by the next evolution of language.

Yeah I suppose if things progress at this rate, we'll be f-ing telepathic within a decade.

That's like saying people should talk however they want to. Seriously, try to imagine somebody speaking like that. How well would you be able to understand them? Even if you could understand them, would you feel annoyed at all because they can't be bothered to speak well?

That's not evolution, that's anal rape. Keystrokes don't matter. It doesn't matter that this is all text. The fact remains that this is still a language. Does somebody who speaks like benTENDO's example sound intelligent?

I'm not a huge grammar nazi, but there's only so much I can tolerate. The basic "u" and "r" are pushing it, but at least it's still understandable if that's all they change. I don't even care if people use the shift key or not.

It's not just about spelling, either. Some people absolutely refuse to use any punctuation or even dare press the "enter" key once, just as our friend iq183 demonstrated. Maybe we would have thought he was just a little bit less crazy if he had been capable of writing intelligently. A college would laugh at a letter typed like that and immediately trash it.
