I understand that it's ok to use a little im lingo, but why do so many people do every sentece with? Because they think they're cool? Because they are too lazy? what ever the reason is tell me
-Waves frantically- Hello. Aheam Anyway....I think it depends on the person actually. I mean if they are lazy they will use abbrevations. Or if they are ditsy and don't know what you're saying they will put lol after every sentence. I mean its ok to use it once in a while or if they actaulyl say something funny...But not as a responce when you don't know what else to say.
its quicker to type lol then type I am laughing out loud. It's just more convinent. Why use conjuctions?
Well I don't think you'd actually put 'I am laughing outloud' so you wouldn't nessarily be typing out that sentence. but I do agree that it is easier to use abrevations.
Im not talking about little things like that, i don't care about lol, and stuff like that but like hate this sentece: Omfg i hate skool, do u....things like that
Ah, I think thats just plain out ditsy. Its from a lack of vocabulary and orginal ideas. We all know schools suck. Yet we all manage to get through it day after stinking day. Now don't we? [Retorical, do not respond to that]
LOLLZZZ!!! dude...datz mad whackz and shitzz..dats TOTALLSS Haxx0333rsss Fucking hate that way of speech. If you are dying to prove you're a nimrod of the highest proportions then do so with face to face proof of your lack of personality....don't clutter online conversations with this bullshit.
Thank-you. Atleast not everybody not lacking some common sense. Ok4y I 3nj0y my h4x0r as much as the next person but.....I don't go around trying to showoff that I know it. I mean god damn....All these people are doing it and it just shows your lacking your own indivdualness [like my word?]. You're just copycating people just becuase they're using it. Why would you look up to such half-wits anyway?
Example...a REAL converation that took place between me and another individual on AIM. Individual: hey do u oe da site dat has all da diffn celbs Individual: nd theri voices sayn diffn Individual: wrds nd stuff ME: ok first of all type english Individual: sure Individual: but do you no ME: i have no idea what hell you just typed Baffling isn't it!
Wow, you know some bigger idiots then I do! Thats surprizing. The idiots that I know seem to flock to me, always asking me questions...It gets quite annoying after a while, doesn't it?
Yes it does but thankfully for me it isn't a problem. I do not converse with anyone on a regular basis that types like that. My consistent AIM conversers are highly intelligible and English prone.
Ah I wish I could say the same. People around my age do not care about spelling correctly or using grammar. I can't blame them. But I mean have some dignity atleast. Show that your parent's taxes aren't being wasted. I sort to have to converse with them..Considering I have the biggest idiot as a stalker.

IdiotMagnet (er, EvilSquirrel), At first I thought this was a foreign-language thread. I have no idea what most of those contractions mean. I have to stop and think every time I see "lol". So I hope you can get your own personal entourage of idiots to stop doing it, at least. Personally, I think so slowly that I have no problem typing out everything in full. (Also, I'm so old I don't remember whether school sucked or not, so have mercy.)
Ah! Thats actually very enlightening to hear. -sighs- Sorry to say I might not get through to my idiots. Mainly becuase when I get mad at them I beat them with sticks. Hum diddy dum...[Trust me when I Say it BITES big time]
Using a small subset of abbreviations like that really limits one's vocabulary. The conversations that take place in that medium are the electronic equivalent of: Hey dude, 'sup? I was like no way and she was like okay and then he was like omigod. It's like foreigners who only know a few words of the language, so they can't say much.
Oosh sorry I'm back. Been running through different threads. And I somewhat agree with you Fraggle Rocker.
